The valleys which drain in the same direction as the original consequent drainage but at the lower topographic levels and have developed with respect to new base levels are known as

• Resequent

• Obsequent

• Insequent

• Subsequent

The concept of 'base level erosion' was proposed by

• Davis

• Malott

• Johnson

• Powell

ASSERTION (A) : The velocity of moving ice increases with steepness of slope of the area and thickness of glacial ice.

REASON (R) : The velocity decreases to the sides owing to lesser depth of ice and friction against the valley walls and the bottom floor.

• Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).

• Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

• (A) is true , but (R) is false.

• (A) is false , but (R) is true.
