Match the following :
| List I | List II |
|---|---|
| (a) Atoll formation | (i) W.M. Davis |
| (b) Gradualism | (ii) Charles Darwin |
| (c) Glacial theory | (iii) James Hutton |
| (d) Base level | (iv) J.L.R. Agassiz |
Answer: B
The correct match is a-ii, b-iii, c-iv, d-i.
- Atoll formation: Charles Darwin, whose subsidence theory (1842) explained atolls as fringing reefs that grew upwards around sinking volcanic islands.
- Gradualism: James Hutton, who argued that slow processes acting over immense time shape the Earth.
- Glacial theory: Louis Agassiz, who proposed in 1837 a former Ice Age over Europe.
- Base level: W.M. Davis, who built the base level of erosion (a concept introduced by Powell) into his cycle of erosion.
The first code gives atolls to Davis, and the other two misassign Hutton and Agassiz.
