Drawing and recognising forms of important contours viz, valleys, ridges, types of slopes conical hill, plateau, escoarpment and sea Cliff
Answers
Answer:
A ridge is a landform feature characterized by a continuous elevational crest with sloping sides. Arête is a narrow ridge formed by glacial erosion. A spur is a lateral ridge projecting from the mountain or the main ridge crest. A spur is usually formed by the two roughly parallel streams eroding gullies (draws) down the face of the mountain from the ridge line. (check out interlocking spurs and truncated spurs for more information). Ridges are represented by "U" or "V" shaped contour lines with their closed end pointing towards lower elevation. U-shaped contours indicate broader ridges, while V-shaped contours represent narrower and sharper ridge lines. Aretes and spurs are often generally referred to as ridges in backcountry recreation.
Explanation:
Answer: You need to draw the forms of contours. which should be given in your book.
Explanation:
1)Valley is a low-lying region between the two hills.
2)A chain of mountains is called a ridge.
3)The three types of valleys are V-shaped valleys, U-shaped valleys, and flat-floored valleys.
4)Conical hill is distinctly conical in shape.
5)A small area with a flat top like a tableland especially in the dry and hot areas. Plateaus of Chootanagpur plataeu is in India.
6)Sea cliff is a high and flat land near the coast of sea due to the deposition of alluvial soil.
7) Escarpment is a deposition and separation of sand, silt, and mud by weathering process and forms high land.
