Model Answer

Cirque

  • A Cirque is a geological landform that is typically associated with glacial activity.
  • It is a bowl-shaped, amphitheater-like depression found at the head of a valley or on a mountainside, formed by the erosion and scouring action of a glacier.

Lapies

  • Lapies is a geological feature associated with karst landscapes, which are primarily formed in regions where soluble rocks, such as limestone, gypsum, or dolomite, are present.
  • It refers to the surface of limestone that has been intensely weathered by chemical processes, resulting in a rough and jagged terrain characterized by grooves, ridges, and furrows.

Natural levees

  • Natural levees are raised banks or ridges that form along the sides of a river channel during the process of flooding.
  • They are an important feature of river landscapes and are formed by the deposition of sediment carried by the river as it overflows its banks.

Pediplain

  • A Pediplain is an extensive, broad, and gently undulating land surface formed by the coalescence of several pediments in arid and semi-arid regions.
  • Pediplains represent the final stage of landform evolution in desert environments, where the landscape has been worn down to a nearly level surface.
