When endogenetic forces act horizontally from the opposite directions causing compression and tension the resultant landform is a large dome shaped structure , the process is called
Folding
Faulting
Fracturing
Warping

Sheet flood deposition
Horizontal erosion
Recession of mountain front
Lateral erosion
ASSERTION (A) : By far the most common and widespread topographic form in a karst terrain is the sinkhole.
