Question

The work of erosion and transportation is more in the mountains than in the plains. Give reasons.

Answer 1

The work of erosion and transportation is more in the mountains than in the plains because a river flows very fast in the highlands and that leaves more scope to deposit water and finally cause erosion.

But in the plains, the flow of river is slower.

It leaves less scope of water deposit and thus results in less erosion.

Answer 2

Answer:

The "work of erosion" and "transportation" is more in the "mountains" than in the "plains".

Explanation:

Rivers originating from the mountains, in their first stage have tremendous speed and erode the landscape deeply. Due its speed it carries big boulders and rocks easily after breaking them down. Mountains have an inclined plain which allows the smooth movement of anything. So rivers can swiftly go downwards along the slopes of mountains.
