Question

The lowering of land, rounding of exposed rock surfaces and levelling of the peaks:

Options

• Denudation

• Erosion

• Mass wasting

• Deposition

Answer 1

Denudation

Explanation:

Denudation refers to the lowering of land, rounding of exposed rock surfaces, and levelling of peaks due to the combined effects of weathering, erosion, and transportation of materials. Over time, these processes wear down the Earth’s surface, flattening features like mountains and reducing the height of exposed rock. Denudation results in the gradual wearing away of the landscape.
