Question 1
In the context of geomorphic cycles, peneplains are most characteristically associated with which erosional stage?
  • Youth stage with maximum relief and steep slopes
  • Mature stage with well-developed drainage patterns
  • Old age stage approaching base level✔️
  • Rejuvenation phase with renewed downcutting
Correct Answer Explanation
Peneplains represent the final stage of Davis's geomorphic cycle - a nearly flat erosional surface approaching base level, characteristic of old age. Youth features steep slopes, maturity shows developed valleys, while rejuvenation restarts the cycle.
