Question 1871. Which among the following statements is/are correct about Cenotes?Cenote is a natural pit or sinkhole resulting from the collapse of limestone bedrock that exposes groundwater underneath.Cenotes are commonly found on high altitude regions of the world.Select the correct code from the options given below:
  1.    Neither 1 & 2
  2.    Only 1
  3.    Only 2
  4.    Both 1 & 2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Only 1

Karst topography is a result of the dissolution of soluble rocks like limestone, dolomite and gypsum.Cenote is a natural pit or a sinkhole which results from the collapse of a limestone bedrock exposing the groundwater underneath. Cenotes are commonly found in low-lying areas like islands, coastlines, etc.


Question 1872. What are secondary mineral deposits formed in caves called?
  1.    Ejecta Blanket
  2.    Speleogenesis
  3.    Speleothems
  4.    Pyroclastic debris
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Speleothems

Karst topography is a result of the dissolution of soluble rocks like limestone, dolomite and gypsum. Caves are formed due to weathering of rock deep underground. Cave or cavern is a natural void and is  a space large enough so that a human can enter. The study of the formation and development of caves is called as Speleogenesis. The  secondary mineral deposits formed in the caves are called speleothems. These include flowstones, stalagmites, stalactites,etc.


Question 1873. Which among the following pairs is/are correctly matched?Horst – Depressed block of planetary crust bordered by parallel faultsOceanic trench  – Depressed block of planetary crust bordered by parallel faultsSelect the correct code from the options given below:
  1.    Neither 1 & 2
  2.    Both 1 & 2
  3.    Only 2
  4.    Only 1
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Neither 1 & 2

Oceanic trenches are long and narrow depressions of the sea floor. They are the deepest parts of the ocean floor. They are a type of tectonic landforms.Horst is a raised fault block bounded by normal faults. The word Horst in Dutch and German means ‘heap’. It is a raised block of earth’s crust that has been lifted. It is a tectonic landform.


Question 1874. Which among the following impact craters of the Earth is/are correctly matched?Lonar crater – Tajikistan Kaali crater – IndiaKarakul crater – EstoniaSelect the correct code from the options given below:
  1.    Only 2 & 3
  2.    Only 2
  3.    None of these
  4.    Only 3
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> None of these

Impact crater is a type of impact landform formed due to collision of astronomical objects. Impact crater is a circular depression formed by the hypervelocity impact of a smaller body.Folowing are the examples of impact craters on the Earth:Lonar crater – IndiaKaali crater – EstoniaKarakul crater – Tajikistan


Question 1875. Which among the following pairs of weathered landforms is/are not correctly matched?Etchplain – A plain where the bedrock has been subject to considerable subsurface weatheringFlared slope – Small to large indentations in vertical to steeply sloping granular rockSelect the correct code from the options given below:
  1.    Only 1
  2.    Only 2
  3.    Both 1 & 2
  4.    Neither 1 & 2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Only 2

Etchplain is a plain where the bedrock has been subject to considerable subsurface weathering is called an Etchplain. The process of the formation of Etchplains is called Etchplantation.Flared slope is a rock-wall with a smooth transition into a concavity at the foot zone is called a Flared zone. They are found in a variety of climates. They are most common in granitic rocks.


Question 1876. The Mackenzie Delta is located in which among the following countries?
  1.    Russia
  2.    New Zealand
  3.    Canada
  4.    United States
