Badland topography is characteristic – (1) Chambal valley (2) Coastal area (3) Sundarban delta (4) Gulf of Kachchh

1 Answer

Answer :

(1) Chambal valley Explanation: Badlands are area of severe erosion, usually found in semiarid climates and characterized by countless gullies, steep ridges, and sparse vegetation. Bad-land topography is formed on poorly cemented sediments that have few deep-rooted plants because short, heavy showers sweep away surface soil and small plants. Depressions gradually deepen into gullies. Badland topography is a characteristic feature of the Chambal valley, whereas Kankar has extensively developed in the older alluvium.
