Peneplain is linked with which long-term process?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Near-leveling of land by erosion over a long period
The governing concept is the cycle of erosion. A peneplain is a broad surface of very low relief formed when prolonged denudation and running-water erosion wear down an uplifted landscape over a very long period, usually toward the late stage of the erosion cycle. Thus option C is correct. A single flood, rapid coastal sand deposition, or a lava mound creates a different feature and does not represent long-term landscape leveling.
