IN WHICH EROSIONAL PLAIN IS AN INSELBERG COMMONLY FOUND

• A. pediplain ✓
• B. flood plain
• C. penaplain
• D. outerwash plain

The answer to the question is: A. pediplain

An inselberg is commonly found in a pediplain. A pediplain is a gently sloping erosion surface that is often found in arid and semi-arid regions. Inselbergs are residual hills or mountains that rise abruptly from the surrounding plain due to their resistance to erosion. They are typically composed of hard, erosion-resistant rock, such as granite, and are left behind as the surrounding softer rock erodes away, leaving them standing as isolated features on the pediplain.

Inselbergs are characteristic features of pediplains because the processes of erosion and weathering in these regions lead to the formation of these residual landforms. The gradual lowering of the landscape through erosion exposes the more resistant rocks, which then stand out as inselbergs on the relatively flat pediplain surface.
