Erosional and Depositional Landforms

The video tutorial covers the exercise from lesson three on agents of erosion. It explains the differences between erosional and depositional landforms created by various agents like rivers, wind, sea waves, and glaciers. The video also includes multiple choice questions and detailed explanations for geographical phenomena, such as why deltas form on the eastern coast of India and the relationship between agent velocity and deposition. The tutorial concludes with a call to action for the next video.

Which of the following is an erosional landform created by rivers?

• Delta

• V-shaped Valley

• Sand Dune

• Mushroom Rock

What is the primary difference between erosional and depositional landforms?

• Erosional landforms are temporary, while depositional landforms are permanent.

• Erosional landforms are found in deserts, while depositional landforms are found in forests.

• Erosional landforms are formed by the removal of material, while depositional landforms are formed by the accumulation of material.

• Erosional landforms are created by wind, while depositional landforms are created by water.

What is the process called when a river erodes its bed upstream?

• Vertical Erosion

• Backward Erosion

• Lateral Erosion

• Headward Erosion

Why are deltas more commonly found on the eastern coast of India?

• The eastern coast is more affected by ocean currents.

• The eastern coast has more mountains.

• The rivers on the eastern coast carry more sediment.

• The eastern coast has a gentler slope.

What is the primary reason for the formation of estuaries on the western coast of India?

• High sediment load

• Fast-flowing rivers

• Presence of mountains

• Strong ocean currents

What factor primarily affects the carrying capacity of an agent of erosion?

• Velocity

• Temperature

• Humidity

• Altitude

Which landform is created by the continuous work of sea waves?

• Cliff

• Sand Dune

• Sinkhole

• V-shaped Valley

What is the term for the slow movement of ice that causes erosion?

• Glacial Drift

• Abstraction

• Plucking

• Glacial Flow

Which of the following is a depositional landform created by glaciers?

• Sinkhole

• Drumlin

• Yardang

• Sea Cave

What is the effect of a change in slope on the process of deposition?

• It prevents erosion from happening.

• It increases the velocity of the agent.

• It decreases the carrying capacity of the agent.

• It causes deposition to occur.
