Question

Match the following: (4 mks) Column ‘A’ Column ‘B’ (1) Deccan Plateau (2) Mechanical weathering (3) Wavecut platform (4) Orographic rainfall (a) Frost (b)Sea waves (c) Glaciers (d)Fissure type volcano (e) Mountain barrier​

Answer 1

From the question the correct answer is as follows:

     

       Column A                                        Column B

1) Deccan Plateau                 →        d) Fissure type volcano.

2) Mechanical Weathering   →        a) Forest.

3) Wavecut Platform             →        b) Sea waves.

4) Orographic Rainfall          →         e) Mountain barrier.

• As we know that due to the fissure volcano Deccan plateau is formed.
• Wave-cut platforms are the landform.
• As we know forest weathering exerts pressure on a rock that causes it to break into fine pieces.
• When rain-bearing air is lifted and it moves against the mountain it will form Orographic rainfall.
