What is a cirque? A. A sharp, narrow ridge between two cirques B. A long ridge of glacial till C. A crescent-shaped sand dune with points downwind D. A deep, bowl-shaped basin carved by a glacier Explanation: A cirque is a bowl-shaped, amphitheater-like depression carved out by the head of a glacier. 2 / 202. What is a Karst topography? A. A landscape formed by groundwater erosion in limestone B. A landscape formed by glacial erosion C. A landscape formed by wind erosion D. A landscape formed by volcanic activity Explanation: Karst topography is a distinctive landscape characterized by sinkholes, caves, and underground drainage systems, formed by the dissolution of soluble rocks like limestone. 3 / 203. What are stalactites? A. Crescent-shaped sand dunes with points downwind B. Long ridges of glacial till C. Icicle-like formations hanging from cave ceilings D. Cone-shaped formations rising from cave floors Explanation: Stalactites are icicle-shaped mineral deposits hanging from the ceilings of caves, formed by the dripping of mineral-rich water. 4 / 204. What are stalagmites? A. Icicle-like formations hanging from cave ceilings B. Cone-shaped formations rising from cave floors C. Crescent-shaped sand dunes with points downwind D. Long ridges of glacial till Explanation: Stalagmites are upward-growing mineral deposits from the floor of caves, formed by the dripping of mineral-rich water. 5 / 205. What are incised meanders? A. Meanders formed by wind B. Meanders formed by glaciers C. Meanders found in plains of alluvium D. Meanders cut in hard rocks Explanation: Incised meanders are meandering river channels that have cut deeply into bedrock, often found in areas where the land has been uplifted. 6 / 206. What is a glacier? A. A crescent-shaped sand dune with points downwind B. A long ridge of glacial till C. A large mass of ice floating in the ocean D. A large mass of ice formed by compacted snow Explanation: A glacier is a persistent body of dense ice that is constantly moving under its own weight, formed by the accumulation and compaction of snow over time. 7 / 207. What are natural levees? A. Crescent-shaped sand dunes with points downwind B. Low ridges of coarse deposits along river banks C. Long ridges of sand and shingle parallel to the coast D. High, sharp-pointed peaks formed by glaciers Explanation: Natural levees are low, linear ridges of sediment that form along the banks of rivers, often during floods. 8 / 208. What are potholes? A. Crescent-shaped sand dunes B. Large, deep holes at the base of waterfalls C. Long ridges of glacial till D. Circular depressions formed by stream erosion Explanation: Potholes are rounded depressions in the bedrock of a riverbed, formed by the swirling action of water and sediment. 9 / 209. What are river terraces? A. Long ridges of sand and shingle parallel to the coast B. High, sharp-pointed peaks formed by glaciers C. Surfaces marking old valley floor or floodplain levels D. Crescent-shaped sand dunes with points downwind Explanation: River terraces are step-like landforms along river valleys, representing former floodplains or valley floors that have been abandoned as the river cut down to a lower level. 10 / 2010. What is a delta? A. A flat plain formed by deposition at the mouth of a river B. A cone-shaped deposit formed where a stream enters a valley C. A long ridge of glacial till D. A crescent-shaped sand dune with points downwind Explanation: A delta is a landform created at the mouth of a river where it enters a slower-moving or standing body of water, like a lake or ocean. 11 / 2011. What are caves? A. Crescent-shaped sand dunes with points downwind B. Long ridges of glacial till C. Underground chambers formed by wind erosion D. Underground chambers formed by the dissolution of limestone Explanation: Caves are natural underground voids or chambers, often formed by the dissolving action of acidic groundwater on soluble rock like limestone. 12 / 2012. What is a horn? A. A crescent-shaped sand dune with points downwind B. A deep, bowl-shaped basin carved by a glacier C. A long ridge of glacial till D. A sharp, pointed peak formed by the intersection of three or more cirques Explanation: A horn is a sharp, pyramidal peak formed by the headward erosion of multiple glaciers converging on a central point. 13 / 2013. What is a gorge? A. A shallow valley with gentle slopes B. A circular depression formed by wind erosion C. A flat plain formed by deposition D. A deep valley with very steep to straight sides Explanation: A gorge is a narrow, deep valley with steep sides, often formed by river erosion in resistant rock formations. 14 / 2014. What is a meander? A. A straight channel pattern B. A sharp bend in a river channel C. A loop-like channel pattern D. A waterfall Explanation: A meander is a bend or curve in a river’s course, formed by the lateral erosion and deposition of sediment. 15 / 2015. What is a peneplain? A. A type of glacier B. An almost plain formed by stream erosion C. A type of mountain D. A type of desert Explanation: A peneplain is a low-lying, nearly flat landform created by the erosional forces of running water over long periods. 16 / 2016. What are sinkholes? A. Circular depressions formed by wind erosion B. Openings in the ground formed by the collapse of caves C. Crescent-shaped sand dunes with points downwind D. Long ridges of glacial till Explanation: Sinkholes are depressions or holes in the ground caused by the collapse of the surface layer, often in areas underlain by soluble rock like limestone. 17 / 2017. What is a glacial valley? A. A crescent-shaped sand dune with points downwind B. A U-shaped valley carved by a glacier C. A long ridge of glacial till D. A V-shaped valley carved by a river Explanation: A glacial valley, also known as a glacial trough, is a long, U-shaped valley carved out by the erosive forces of a glacier. 18 / 2018. What is the most important geomorphic agent in humid regions? A. Groundwater B. Running water C. Wind D. Glaciers Explanation: Running water is the most important geomorphic agent in humid regions due to its ability to erode, transport, and deposit vast amounts of material, shaping the landscape over time. 19 / 2019. What are point bars? A. Sediments deposited on the inside of meander bends B. Crescent-shaped sand dunes with points downwind C. Long ridges of sand and shingle parallel to the coast D. High, sharp-pointed peaks formed by glaciers Explanation: Point bars are crescent-shaped deposits of sediment found on the inside bends of meandering rivers. 20 / 2020. What is an alluvial fan? A. A long ridge of glacial till B. A crescent-shaped sand dune with points downwind C. A flat plain formed by deposition at the mouth of a river D. A cone-shaped deposit formed where a stream enters a valley Explanation: An alluvial fan is a fan-shaped deposit of sediment formed where a fast-flowing stream emerges from a mountainous area onto a flatter plain.
