Question

Assertion (A): The landforms are formed by the geomorphic processes.

Reason (R): Endogenic processes and exogenic processes are the two types of geomorphic processes.

Options

• Both A and R are true and R is the correct reason for A.

• Both A and R are true but R is not the correct reason for A.

• A is true and R is false.

• A is false and R is true.

Answer 1

Both A and R are true and R is the correct reason for A.

Explanation:

Landforms are indeed formed by geomorphic processes. These geomorphic processes are classified into endogenic processes (occurring inside the earth, e.g., tectonic, seismic, volcanic) and exogenic processes (occurring on the earth’s surface, e.g., erosion, deposition). Hence, both assertion and reason are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion.
