Question

Mountains which are subjected to weathering and erosion for a long time are lowered down:

Options

• Volcanic plateaus

• Relict mountains

• Intermontane plateaus

Answer 1

Relict mountains

Explanation:

Relict mountains are mountains that have been subjected to extensive weathering and erosion over long periods. As a result, they are lowered down and often have rounded tops and gentler slopes. These mountains are remnants of older, once higher mountains that have been eroded due to external forces like wind, water, and ice. Examples include the Aravalli Range in India.
