Solution(By Examveda Team)

The term Catena was introduced by Geoffrey Milne in 1935.
This term describes the soil topography units and the lateral variation in soils over a hillslope. The concept of a catena was developed to analyze the regular variation of soils across a slope.
A mature catena is in equilibrium as the processes of deposition and erosion are in balance.
