Question - 11 : -
Give reasons.
 Flood plains are very fertile.

Answer - 11 : - Flood plains are very fertile because at times when river water overflows, it results in the flooding of the neighbouring areas. This deposits a layer of fine soil and other sediments at the banks of the river, which leads to fertile flood plains.

Question - 12 : -
Give reasons.
Sea caves are turned into stacks.

Answer - 12 : - When the cavities in the sea caves become bigger and bigger, only the roof of the caves are leftover, which forms sea arches. Further, due to erosion, the roof vanishes and only the walls stay intact, turning the sea caves into stacks.

Question - 13 : -
Give reasons.
Buildings collapse due to earthquakes.

Answer - 13 : - When the lithospheric plates move, the surface of the earth vibrates and then these vibrations travel outwards from the epicentre in the form of waves, which leads to sudden movement and results in the collapse of buildings.
