The two correct answers are:
- Cliffs with ridges: Cliffs with ridges suggest that the rock layers may be composed of different materials or have different resistance to weathering, leading to differential erosion.
- A smooth plain: A smooth plain indicates that the rocks in that area have likely undergone extensive weathering and erosion, resulting in a relatively uniform landscape. This suggests that the rocks in the same area can weather differently based on their composition and susceptibility to weathering.
- Cliffs with ridges: Cliffs with ridges suggest that the rock layers may be composed of different materials or have different resistance to weathering, leading to differential erosion.
- A smooth plain: A smooth plain indicates that the rocks in that area have likely undergone extensive weathering and erosion, resulting in a relatively uniform landscape.
