Answer 2

Answer:

The rate of rise or fall provided to the formation of a railway track is 1)Gradient.

Explanation:

What is Gradient:

• To overcome the rise or fall in the level of the railway track, gradients are supplied.

• A rising gradient is one where the track gains elevation in the direction of traffic flow, whereas a down or falling gradient is one where the track loses elevation in the direction of traffic flow.

Objectives of gradients:

1. To reach several stations at varying altitudes.
2. To the greatest extent feasible, follow the natural contours of the land.
3. To lower the cost of earthmoving.
