Answer:

Water from rivers erodes the banks, the ice breaks up rocks, intense rainfall causes mass wasting, water from rainfall flows as runoff and creates ripples.

Explanation:

Earth has several spheres, all of which have their own unique characteristics that define them as such. Despite all of them being very different from each other, they can not exist in the form they are if there is no interaction with the other spheres, thus all of the spheres are interconnected and they depend on one another.

Two of those hydrospheres are the hydrosphere and geosphere, and they interact in many different ways. When there is rainfall, the water that ends on land flows as runoff until it reaches a water body, and while it does so it manages to create ripples in the ground. If there is intense rainfall in an area where there is steep and unstable terrain, it can easily cause mass wasting by oversaturating the soil with water. The water that flows in the rivers with its power is constantly eroding the banks. If water freezes and turns to ice because its volume becomes greater, it is able to break up rocks with the pressure it creates on them.

Reil [10]

Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

Table Mountains are generally considered to be one of the oldest mountains that are present on earth. They are nearly six times older than the Himalayas. It started to form about 800 million years back when the rock sandstone were created under the the surface of the water. These rocks were uplifted due to the upward thrust produced by the magma, as a result of which it slowly started to form volcanoes. Over the years, the earth has experienced much cooler temperature due to the occurrence of ice age events, due to which these rocks were crystallized forming intrusive igneous rock such as granite. This uplifted mountains and volcanoes were covered with ice and over a due course of time, because of the overlying weight, the mountains became flat and all of the ice were melt, thereby forming the table mountains.

Thus, it can be considered that the table mountains are formed after all of the glaciers are melt.

Hence, the correct answer is option (C).
