Discussion
Consider the following pairs :
| Agents | Associated Landforms |
|---|---|
| 1) Glacier | Hanging Valley |
| 2) River | Delta |
| 3) Wind | Barkhans |
Which of the pairs given above are correctly matched ?
Answer: D
All three pairs are correct, so the answer is 1, 2 and 3.
- A hanging valley is formed by a glacier, where a tributary glacier's shallower valley is left high above the main valley deepened by a larger glacier.
- A delta is built by a river depositing its load at its mouth.
- Barkhans (barchans) are crescent-shaped sand dunes formed by wind blowing from one direction.
Each landform is a classic example of its agent, so no option leaving a pair out is right.
