Different rates of movement create a series of step-like features called
A) slump terraces.

C) hotspots.
D) delta kames.
E) eskers.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Slump terraces are created by the gradual sliding of soil and rock downhill due to gravity. The differing rates of movement can create distinct step-like features. Mudpots are small pools of bubbling mud, hotspots are areas of intense volcanic activity, delta kames are landforms created by glacial meltwater deposition, and eskers are ridges of sediment deposited by glacial meltwater. None of these options are related to differing rates of movement creating step-like features.
