Geography

Mass movements, erosion, and deposition

In Class 11 Geography, this topic within “Geomorphic Processes” explains how weathering, gravity, running water, wind, glaciers, waves, and underground water reshape the land. Students learn to distinguish mass movements such as landslides and soil creep from erosion, examine how sediments are transported, and understand deposition that builds features such as fans, floodplains, dunes, moraines, and deltas. It connects processes, landforms, and environmental impacts through clear geographical examples.

View options
  1. Delta front
  2. Beach ridge
  3. Main scarp

View options
  1. Because rainfall permanently stops
  2. Because river deposits instantly become rock
  3. Because sea waves reach mountains
  4. Because shaking reduces the slope's resisting strength
View options
  1. It removes basal support and destabilizes the slope
  2. It makes the slope as strong as iron
  3. It makes particle weight zero
  4. It stops cloud formation
View options
  1. When waves cut the base and leave the upper part unsupported

View options
  1. Only tidal velocity
  2. Bonding between particles and root binding
  3. Evaporation of sea salts
  4. Shape of river meander
View options
  1. Because friction always disappears
  2. Because water always freezes
  3. Because the downslope component of gravity increases
  4. Because deposition energy does not increase
View options
  1. It always cements the soil
  2. It creates tides in a river
  3. It erodes deltas in the sea
  4. It slowly displaces particles downslope
View options
  1. Saturated upper soil over frozen subsoil
  2. Completely dry slope
  3. Only sea waves
  4. Deep ocean floor
View options

View options
  1. Only population density
  2. Only length of day
  3. Slope angle rock structure rainfall and land use
  4. Only colour of river water
View options
  1. Because it only changes latitude
  2. Because it makes all slopes equal
  3. Because it removes sea level
  4. Because it controls rainfall temperature variation and vegetation
View options
  1. Because a thin uniform soil layer is removed slowly
  2. Because it occurs only in the sea
  3. Because it always forms a deep valley
  4. Because it involves only glaciers
View options
  1. Levelling of fertile plain
  2. Badland or ravine topography
  3. Marine coral reef
  4. Glacial moraine
View options
  1. All particles will dissolve immediately
  2. Only vertical erosion will increase
  3. Sediment deposition will increase
  4. The source of the river will close
View options
  1. It can extend the valley toward the source
  2. It turns the sea into mountains
  3. It changes all sediments into vapour
  4. It makes wind direction permanent
View options
  1. It may capture the upper drainage of a weaker stream
  2. It turns all rivers into lakes
  3. It stops sea tides
  4. It turns a glacier into vapour
View options
  1. Because renewed downcutting leaves old floodplains at higher levels
  2. Because the river stops flowing
