    Question

    The lowest part of most bolsons is occupied by a landform called playa. Which category of landform formation does it represent?

    A.

    Fluvial landforms

    B.

    Arid landforms

    C.

    Glacial landforms

    D.

    Periglacial landforms

    Correct option is B


    The correct answer is (b) Arid landforms. A playa is a landform typically found in arid and semi-arid regions, often at the lowest part of a bolson, which is a desert basin. Playas are flat, dry areas where water accumulates temporarily during heavy rainfall, but they usually dry out quickly, leaving behind salt and mineral deposits. This type of landform is characteristic of arid landscapes, where the processes of evaporation and minimal precipitation play a significant role in shaping the terrain. Information Booster: Playas are also known as dry lakes or salt flats, as they often accumulate evaporative mineral deposits, such as salt, gypsum, and other minerals. They are common in desert regions, such as the American Southwest and other desert basins around the world. The formation of playas is heavily influenced by seasonal rainfall and the high evaporation rates typical of desert climates.
