Question

Talus is an example of a soil deposit which is formed:

• A. by the action of flowing water.
• B. by the consistent action of wind flow from the same direction.
• C. due to action of glacier drift.
• D. by the action of gravitational forces.

Hint:

For identifying soil deposit types, remember: - Talus: Gravitational action. - Alluvial soil: Water action. - Aeolian deposits: Wind action.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Talus refers to a deposit of broken rock fragments that accumulate at the base of cliffs or steep slopes. It is primarily formed due to the action of gravitational forces, causing the rocks to fall and pile up at the slope’s base.
