Question 8 of 165
8. Question
8. Which among the following statement is correct

Question 9 of 165
9. Question
9. Which among the following is the other name of Exfoliation?

Question 17 of 165
17. Question
17. Which is the movement of a large mass of rock, soil and debris downward by the pull of gravity. It is also called a mass movement or slope movement?

Question 22 of 165
22. Question
22. Which among the following statement is correct

The river starts depositing larger materials first and smaller and finer materials are carried further down to the mouth of the river.
