Which of the following is NOT a geomorphic application?

  1. Landform analysis

  2. Natural hazard assessment

  3. Mineral exploration

  4. Climate change research


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Mineral exploration is not a geomorphic application, as it is not directly related to the study of landforms and their processes.

What is the primary focus of landform analysis?

  1. Identifying and classifying landforms

  2. Understanding the processes that shape landforms

  3. Assessing the impact of human activities on landforms

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Landform analysis involves identifying and classifying landforms, understanding the processes that shape them, and assessing the impact of human activities on them.

Which geomorphic application is concerned with assessing the risk of natural hazards?

  1. Landform analysis

  2. Natural hazard assessment

  3. Mineral exploration

  4. Climate change research


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Natural hazard assessment is a geomorphic application that involves identifying and evaluating the risk of natural hazards, such as landslides, floods, and earthquakes.

How can geomorphic applications be used in climate change research?

  1. To study the impact of climate change on landforms

  2. To reconstruct past climate conditions

  3. To predict future climate change

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Geomorphic applications can be used in climate change research to study the impact of climate change on landforms, reconstruct past climate conditions, and predict future climate change.

Which geomorphic application is concerned with the study of ancient landforms?

  1. Landform analysis

  4. Anthropogeomorphology


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Anthropogeomorphology is a geomorphic application that involves the study of the relationship between landforms and human activities, and how human activities can impact landforms.

How can geomorphic applications be used in engineering projects?

  1. To design and construct roads and bridges

  2. To assess the stability of slopes

  3. To mitigate the impact of natural hazards

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Geomorphic applications can be used in engineering projects to design and construct roads and bridges, assess the stability of slopes, and mitigate the impact of natural hazards.

Which geomorphic application is concerned with the study of the evolution of landforms over time?
