Question
Badland topography is characteristic
Options:
A .  Coastal area
B .  Sundarban delta
C .  Gulf of Kachchh
D .  Chambal valley
Answer: Option D
Answer: (d)
Badlands are an area of severe erosion, usually found in semiarid climates and characterized by countless gullies, steep ridges, and sparse vegetation. Badland topography is formed on poorly cemented sediments that have few deep-rooted plants because short, heavy showers sweep away surface soil and small plants.
Depressions gradually deepen into gullies. Badland topography is a characteristic feature of the Chambal valley, whereas Kankar has extensively developed in the older alluvium.
