The landscapes produced by a single dominant geomorphic process are called as

  • A.Simple Landscapes
  • B.Compound Landscapes
  • C.Monocyclic Landscapes
  • D.Multicyclic Landscapes

Answer: A

Landscapes produced by a single dominant geomorphic process are called simple landscapes.

In this terminology a simple landscape owes its form to one main process, such as running water or glacial action, acting over a long time. A compound landscape, by contrast, shows the work of two or more processes acting together or in turn.

Monocyclic and multicyclic landscapes (options C and D) are named for the number of cycles of erosion that the area has passed through, not for the number of processes. Compound landscapes (option B) are the opposite of what the question asks.
