Geomorphic processes (multiple agents): Landforms shaped by several processes—weathering, erosion, and deposition—are known as what? Emphasize combined genesis rather than a single dominant process. Choose the correct category.

Q: Geomorphic processes (multiple agents): Landforms shaped by several processes—weathering, erosion, and deposition—are known as what? Emphasize combined genesis rather than a single dominant process. Choose the correct category.

Concept/Approach Polygenetic means formed by multiple processes (e.g., weathering + fluvial erosion + deposition). Polycyclic refers to multiple cycles of erosion/uplift, not multiple simultaneous agents. Final Answer Polygenetic landforms

Difficulty: Easy

Polygenetic landforms
Structural landforms
Polycyclic landforms
None of the above

Correct Answer: Polygenetic landforms

Explanation:

Concept/Approach
Polygenetic means formed by multiple processes (e.g., weathering + fluvial erosion + deposition). Polycyclic refers to multiple cycles of erosion/uplift, not multiple simultaneous agents.
