General KnowledgeGeography
- AA – 2, B – 3, C – 1, D – 4
- BA – 2, B – 1, C – 3, D – 4
- CA – 4, B – 1, C – 3, D – 2
- DA – 4, B – 3, C – 1, D – 2
Explanation
Chemical weathering includes oxidation, the rusting of iron-bearing minerals (A–2). Mechanical weathering includes plant roots wedging rocks apart (B–3). Till is the unsorted debris deposited directly by glaciers (C–1). Stalactites are formed by the deposition of calcium carbonate from dripping groundwater in caves (D–4). Hence A–2, B–3, C–1, D–4.
