Question

Which type of plains are found in the regions which were once covered with the glaciers?

Options

• Pedi plains

• Lacustrine plains

• Loess plains

Answer 1

Outwash plains

Explanation:

Outwash plains are formed by the deposition of fine glacial sediments carried by meltwater from glaciers. They are typically found in regions that were once covered by glaciers, formed from the glacial outwash deposits. These plains have fine glacial deposits spread by meltwater streams, distinguishing them from other types of plains like lacustrine or loess plains.
