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. High sediment and calm shallow water
  2. Low tide and low wave energy
  3. Strong tides waves and removal of sediment
  4. Sudden spreading of stream on plain
View options
  1. Because levees may obstruct drainage behind them
  2. Because a glacier always exists there
  3. Because a marine spit forms there
  4. Because wind blows away all water
View options
  1. It helps erosion on outer bank and deposition on inner bank
  2. It removes all bends
  3. It turns a river into a glacier
  4. It only increases evaporation
View options
  1. By river lifting a mountain
  2. By cliff retreat and basal erosion
  3. By glacial deposition
  4. By loess accumulation
View options
  1. They create weak lines that concentrate wave erosion
  2. They completely stop waves
  3. They always harden sediment
  4. They dry up rivers
View options
  1. By the oblique angle at which waves approach the coast
  2. By the colour of coastal rocks
  3. By the height of a nearby glacier
  4. By the depth of the source of a river reaching the coast
View options
  1. Vertical river erosion
  2. Change in wind direction or wave refraction
  3. Glacial plucking
  4. Soil creep
View options
  1. Marine deposition
  2. Lateral river erosion
  3. Glacial abrasion and plucking
  4. Loess deposition by wind
View options
  1. It has a broad floor and steep side slopes
  2. It has a narrow floor, with the two sides meeting in a pointed shape
  3. It has very gentle side slopes and an almost level floor
  4. It is formed mainly by deposition rather than erosion
View options
  1. Difference in erosive power of main and tributary glaciers
  2. Difference in tide heights
  3. Difference in colour of loess and delta
  4. Difference between vegetation and clouds
View options
  1. Oval landform made by glacial deposition
  2. Sea cave
  3. River waterfall
  4. Wind erosion hollow
View options
  1. Deposition by streams flowing beneath a glacier
  2. Erosion by sea waves
  3. Desert deflation
  4. River meander erosion
View options
  1. Bouncing movement of particles near the ground
  2. Dissolving of particles in sea
  3. Freezing of particles in glacier
  4. Becoming permanent rock
View options
  1. Heaviest pebbles
  2. Large boulders
  3. Fine dust and silt
  4. Only marine fossils
View options
  1. River deposition
  2. Glacial accumulation
  3. Marine coral growth
  4. Wind abrasion and deflation
View options
  1. Wind-polished and abraded rock fragment
  2. Natural levee of a river
  3. Glacial moraine
  4. Marine delta
View options
  1. Limited sand and one dominant wind direction
  2. Dense forest and permanent glacier
  3. Sea tides and excess mud
  4. Very deep river water
View options
  1. Because they are made of thick lava
  2. Because their fine, mineral-rich particles can form fertile soil
  3. Because water cannot infiltrate their soil at all
  4. Because they are made only of salt deposits
View options
  1. Slope retreat and surface erosion
  2. Only coral growth
  3. Only glacial plucking
  4. Only marine spit
View options
  1. Gradual lowering and leveling of high uneven surfaces
  2. Sea always becoming mountains
  3. Rivers stopping flow
  4. All sediments disappearing
View options
  1. Pediplanation
  2. Delta progradation
  3. Coral formation
  4. Glacial ice accumulation
View options
  1. Because it decides whether eroded material reaches a depositional site
  2. Because it decides the height of the sun
  3. Because it melts all rocks
  4. Because it ends tides
View options
  1. Because they expose and destabilize rock and soil
  2. Because they completely stop rainfall
  3. Because they turn river water into glacier
  4. Because they make all slopes zero
View options
  1. When shear stress slightly exceeds resisting force
  2. When gravity becomes zero on the slope
  3. When all rocks become completely flexible
  4. When river flow is always upward
View options
  1. Water raises pore pressure and reduces friction between particles
  2. Water turns all slopes into horizontal plains
  3. Water eliminates gravity
  4. Water only stops deposition
