1Which landform is the armchair-shaped, steep-sided hollow basin cut into a mountain slope by glacial erosion?
A.Cirque
B.Gorge
C.Barchan
D.Estuary
Explanation: A cirque (also known as a corrie or cwm) is an armchair-shaped hollow created on mountain slopes by glacial plucking and abrasion.
2What is the funnel-shaped wide mouth of a river called where ocean tides sweep away river sediments?
A.Delta
B.Estuary
C.Alluvial Cone
D.Meander
Explanation: An estuary is a wide, funnel-shaped river mouth where strong tidal currents prevent sediment deposition and clean out river loads.
3Which crescent-shaped sand dune features two pointed horns pointing downwind in arid desert regions?
A.Seif dune
B.Loess plain
C.Barchan
D.Yardang
Explanation: A barchan is a transverse, crescent-shaped sand dune formed perpendicular to prevailing wind direction, with horns extending downwind.
4Which deep and very narrow river valley with nearly vertical walls is formed in high mountain courses in humid regions?
A.U-shaped valley
B.Blind valley
C.Oxbow valley
D.Gorge
Explanation: A gorge is an extremely narrow, deep river valley with vertical rock walls carved by intense vertical river erosion in upper mountain courses.
5What mushroom-shaped rock pedestal is created in deserts when wind abrasion erodes lower rock layers faster than top layers?
A.Gour
B.Zeugen
C.Esker
D.Kame
Explanation: A Gour (or mushroom rock) is formed in desert environments because wind-borne sand particles concentrate near the ground level, causing rapid abrasion at the base of rock structures.
6Which smooth, elongated oval hill of unstratified glacial till deposit is commonly described as an 'inverted spoon' topography?
A.Moraine
B.Drumlin
C.Pothole
D.Pediment
Explanation: Drumlins are streamlined oval hills formed of till under moving glaciers; groups of drumlins form a 'basket of eggs' or 'inverted spoon' topography.
7What crescent-shaped water body is left behind when a river meander loop is severed from the main stream during floods?
A.Playa lake
B.Lagoon
C.Oxbow lake
D.Fiord
Explanation: An oxbow lake forms in plains when a river cuts through the narrow neck of a meander loop, sealing off the old loop.
8What fine, yellowish windblown dust deposit forms extensive fertile soil covers, such as in the Huang Ho basin of China?
A.Regolith
B.Till
C.Alluvium
D.Loess
Explanation: Loess is unstratified, highly porous windblown silt transported over long distances from deserts and glacial outwash plains.
9What sharp, serrated knife-edge rock ridge separates two adjacent cirques on a glaciated mountain crest?
A.Arête
B.Arroyo
C.Natural levee
D.Sandspit
Explanation: An arête is a narrow, saw-toothed steep ridge created where headward erosion of two cirques meets from opposite sides of a mountain divide.
10What circular hole is drilled into a rocky riverbed by swirling pebbles held in eddy currents?
A.Sinkhole
B.Pothole
C.Plunge pool
D.Blowhole
Explanation: Potholes are smooth, cylindrical depressions ground into rocky river channels by swirling rocks carried by circular eddy currents.
