Matching Geomorphology Terms: List-I with List-II

This question requires matching specific geomorphological terms from List-I with their corresponding landform types or processes from List-II.

Explanation of Terms:

• A. Bajada: A Bajada is a broad alluvial apron formed by the coalescing of alluvial fans at the base of mountains, typically found in arid or semi-arid desert environments. Thus, Bajada matches with Q (Desert).
• B. Dreikanter: A Dreikanter is a distinctive, wind-faceted pebble or small stone, often with three or more flat surfaces polished by windblown sand. These are characteristic of aeolian (wind-related) processes in deserts. Thus, Dreikanter matches with P (Aeolian).
• C. Karn: While 'Karn' can have various meanings, in geomorphology, it often refers to a cirque or corrie, which is a bowl-shaped hollow or rock basin developed on the side of a mountain by glacial erosion. Thus, Karn matches with R (Glacial).
• D. Dolines: A Doline is a common feature of karst topography. It is a closed, usually circular or oval depression in the ground surface, formed by the dissolution of underlying soluble rocks like limestone. Thus, Dolines matches with S (Karst).

Correct Matching:

Based on the explanations:

• A (Bajada) corresponds to Q (Desert).
• B (Dreikanter) corresponds to P (Aeolian).
• C (Karn) corresponds to R (Glacial).
• D (Doline) corresponds to S (Karst).

Therefore, the correct match is A – Q, B – P, C – R, D – S.
