Explanation: Gravity not only activates all downslope movements of matter but also causes stresses on Earth materials.3 / 203. What is a geomorphic agent? A. Any exogenic element capable of acquiring and transporting Earth materials B. Any living organism that modifies the Earth's surface C. Any endogenic force causing changes in the Earth's surface D. Any human activity that impacts the Earth's environment Explanation: A geomorphic agent is any exogenic element of nature, like water, ice, or wind, that can acquire and transport Earth materials.4 / 204. What is diastrophism? A. The process of volcanic eruption B. The process of soil formation C. All processes that move, elevate, or build up portions of the Earth's crust D. The process of rock formation Explanation: Diastrophism encompasses all processes that move, elevate, or build up portions of the Earth’s crust.5 / 205. Why is it important to understand the nature of the Earth’s surface? A. To explore space B. To develop new technologies C. To predict earthquakes D. To use it effectively without disturbing its balance Explanation: Understanding the nature of the Earth’s surface is essential for using it effectively without disturbing its balance and diminishing its potential for the future.6 / 206. What is exfoliation? A. The transportation of sediments by glaciers B. The breakdown of rocks by chemical reactions C. The flaking off of curved sheets from rocks D. The formation of rocks by biological activity Explanation: Exfoliation is the result of flaking off of more or less curved sheets of shells from over rocks or bedrock, resulting in smooth and rounded surfaces.7 / 207. What are endogenic forces primarily responsible for? A. Building up landforms B. Transporting sediments C. Wearing down landforms D. Creating atmospheric circulation Explanation: Endogenic forces are primarily land-building forces, while exogenic forces are land-wearing forces.8 / 208. How do burrowing animals contribute to weathering? A. They transport sediments over long distances. B. They break down rocks with their teeth. C. They change the Earth's magnetic field. D. They expose new surfaces to chemical attack and assist in the penetration of moisture and air. Explanation: Burrowing animals help in exposing new surfaces to chemical attack and assist in the penetration of moisture and air, contributing to weathering.9 / 209. What is biological weathering? A. The transportation of sediments by rivers B. The breakdown of rocks by wind C. The contribution to or removal of minerals and ions from the weathering environment due to organisms D. The formation of rocks by chemical processes Explanation: Biological weathering involves the contribution to or removal of minerals and ions from the weathering environment and physical changes due to the growth or movement of organisms. 10 / 2010. What is the phenomenon of wearing down relief variations on the Earth’s surface called? A. Gradation B. Epeirogeny C. Orogeny D. Denudation Explanation: Gradation is the process of wearing down relief variations on the Earth’s surface through erosion.11 / 2011. What is the most common cause of physical weathering? A. Biological activity B. Thermal expansion and pressure release C. Chemical reactions D. Wind erosion Explanation: Most physical weathering processes are caused by thermal expansion and pressure release.12 / 2012. What are geomorphic processes? A. The processes that form rocks B. The processes that drive atmospheric circulation C. The processes that cause earthquakes D. The processes that shape the Earth's surface Explanation: Geomorphic processes are the endogenic and exogenic forces that cause physical and chemical changes on Earth materials, leading to changes in the configuration of the Earth’s surface.13 / 2013. What are exogenic forces? A. Magnetic forces B. Gravitational forces C. Forces originating from within the Earth's atmosphere D. Forces originating from within the Earth Explanation: Exogenic forces are external forces that originate within the Earth’s atmosphere.14 / 2014. What is the main source of energy for endogenic geomorphic processes? A. Hydroelectric energy B. Solar energy C. Wind energy D. Radioactivity, rotational and tidal friction, and primordial heat Explanation: The energy emanating from within the Earth, mostly generated by radioactivity, rotational and tidal friction, and primordial heat, is the main force behind endogenic geomorphic processes.15 / 2015. Which of the following is an endogenic geomorphic process? A. Erosion B. Weathering C. Diastrophism D. Deposition Explanation: Diastrophism and volcanism are endogenic geomorphic processes.16 / 2016. What is stress in the context of geomorphic processes? A. Force applied per unit area B. The movement of water through rocks C. The weight of overlying rocks D. Temperature changes in rocks Explanation: Stress is the force applied per unit area, produced in a solid by pushing or pulling, which induces deformation.17 / 2017. What is the primary cause of the uneven surface of the Earth? A. Internal forces within the Earth B. Sunlight C. Gravitational forces from the moon D. External forces from the atmosphere Explanation: The variations in the Earth’s outer surface are primarily due to the differences in internal forces operating from within the Earth. 18 / 2018. What does volcanism include? A. The movement of magma onto or toward the Earth's surface B. The formation of glaciers C. The erosion of rocks by wind D. The deposition of sediments by rivers Explanation: Volcanism includes the movement of molten rock (magma) onto or toward the Earth’s surface and the formation of various intrusive and extrusive volcanic forms.19 / 2019. What is the main cause of the reduction in the Earth’s potential to sustain life? A. Climate change B. Overuse of resources by humans C. Volcanic eruptions D. Natural disasters Explanation: Humans have caused extensive damage to the environment through the overuse of resources, leading to a reduction in the Earth’s potential to sustain life.20 / 2020. What is the ultimate source of energy for exogenic processes? A. The sun B. Gravitational forces C. The Earth's internal heat D. Chemical reactions Explanation: Exogenic processes derive their energy from the atmosphere, which is determined by the ultimate energy from the sun.Please insert your information to see your ranking अपनी Ranking जानने के लिए कृपया अपनी जानकारी भरे NamePhone Number Your score isThe average score is 0% 0% Restart quiz Category: Class 11 Geography Quizzes in English
