Q. The process that moves, elevates or builds up portions of the earth’s crust is called: ?
β
Correct Answer: (D)
diastrophism
Explanation: Diastrophism is the process of deformation of Earth’s crust which involves folding and faulting. It is considered as a part of geotectonics. Denudation involves the processes that cause the wearing away of the Earth’s surface by moving water, by ice, by wind and by waves, leading to a reduction in elevation and in relief of landforms and of landscapes.
