| With reference to mass movements of soil, consider the following statements. |
| 1. Soil creep is a very slow, continuous movement of soil downhill slopes. |
| 2. Soil How or soil functions is a flow, gradual movement of soil downhill slopes. |
| 3. In soil creep, soil acts as liquid and hence it creeps fast. |
| Which of the statements) given above is/are incorrect? |
A) Only 1
B) Only 2
C) Only 3
D) All of these
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
[c] Mass wasting, also known as slope movement or mass movement, is the geomorphic process by which soil, sand, regolith and rock move down slope typically as a mass, larger under the force of gravity, but frequently affected by matter and water content as in submarine environments and mudslides. Types of mass wasting include creep, slides^ flows, topples and falls, each with its own characteristic features and taking place over time scales from seconds to years.
