64 River erosion is responsible for the formation of
A Sink-holes
B Kames
C Pot-holes
D Swallow-holes

Answer: Option [C]

River erosion is responsible for the formation of Pot-holes. Potholes form mainly in the upper course of the river, in high altitude where the river channel cuts directly into the bedrock. Potholes are the direct consequence of vertical erosion and processes of abrasion.

65 Underground water’s action is responsible for the creation of
A Giant stairways
B U-shaped valley
C Cementation
D Avalanches

Answer: Option [C]

Underground water’s action is responsible for the creation of Cementation. Cementation involves ions carried in groundwater chemically precipitating to form new crystalline material between sedimentary grains. The new pore-filling minerals forms "bridges" between original sediment grains, thereby binding them together.
