Match List I with List II and select the correct answer from the codes given below :
| List I (Force Types) | List II (Characteristics) |
|---|---|
| (a) Horizontal forces | (1) Vertical movements |
| (b) Epeirogenetic forces | (2) Tangential movements |
| (c) Catastrophic forces | (3) Destructional process |
| (d) Exogenetic forces | (4) Sudden movements |
Answer: B
The correct matching is a-2, b-1, c-4, d-3.
- Horizontal forces act tangentially, compressing or stretching the crust into folds and faults.
- Epeirogenetic forces cause slow vertical uplift or subsidence of large areas.
- Catastrophic forces, such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, are sudden.
- Exogenetic forces (weathering, erosion) are destructional, wearing down relief.
Option A gives catastrophic forces vertical movement, C pairs horizontal forces with vertical movement, and D makes horizontal forces destructional.
