Direction: It consists of two statements, one labelled as ‘Statement (I)’ and the others as ‘Statement (II)’. You are to examine these two statements carefully and select the answer using the codes given below:

Statement (I): To practice terraced cultivation in hill slopes, it can be admissible to have the vertical face of the terraced boundary run perpendicular to the ground trace of the fault line, if any, in the underlying land.

Statement (II): Fault lines are susceptible to slips and should be guarded against in land use.
1. Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) individually true and Statement (II) is the correct explanation of Statement (I)
2. Both statement (I) and Statement (II) are individually true, but Statement (II) is not the correct explanation of Statement (I)
3.

Correct Answer - Option 1 : Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) individually true and Statement (II) is the correct explanation of Statement (I)

Fault Lines:

  • A fault is a fracture or zone of fractures between two blocks of rock. Faults allow the blocks to move relative to each other. This movement may occur rapidly, in the form of an earthquake - or may occur slowly, in the form of creep.
  • Fault lines are ecological fragile zones prone to landslides and they are susceptible to slips and should be guarded against in land use.

 

Terrace cultivation:

  • It is a method of growing crops on sides of hills or mountains by planting on graduated terraces built into the slope.
  • Though labor-intensive, the method has been employed effectively to maximize arable land area in variable terrains and to reduce soil erosion and water loss.
  • To practice it in hill slopes, it can be admissible to have the vertical face of the terraced boundary run perpendicular to the ground trace of the fault line.

 

Therefore, both Statement (I) and Statement (II) individually true and Statement (II) is the correct explanation of Statement (I).
