Q1:

Geologic cycle for the formation of soil, is

A Upheavel → transportation → deposition → weathering

B Weathering → upheaval → transportation → deposition

C Transportation → upheaval → weathering → deposition

D Weathering → transportation → deposition → upheaval

E None of these.

ANS:D - Weathering → transportation → deposition → upheaval

UPHEAVAL is a process at which the geological cycle is recreated like.

Erosion>transportation>Deposition>upheaval>. Repeat. Existing Rock -> Weathering -> Disintegration -> transportation -> deposition -> upheaval. First to weathering & transportation & depositon & upheaval.
