How could you determine if a meteor has struck an area if all topographic evidence is eroded away?
One can look for the presence of iridium and for evidence of shocked quartz in the rocks.

A valley eroded by a glacier is usually what shape?

What erodes more water or glaciers?
While glaciers would move more earth, free flowing water is more of a constant, moving in places where glaciers do not form (i.e. Underground caverns and equatorial latitudes). Glaciers tend to displace landscape to accommodate their mass, where water actually carves landscape until it's source is cut off. Historically, water has eroded more features (the grand canyon) than has glaciers.
Sediments eroded from mountainsides and transported in streams are an example of the conservation of?
Matter
The low bedrock ridges and peaks of a highly eroded basin and range desert landscape are called?
These are called inselbergs, which are isolated rock hills or small mountains that rise abruptly from a flat surrounding landscape. They are typically formed through the differential weathering and erosion of the surrounding softer rocks.
When land becomes eroded it loses its water-holding capacity and water washes over it into streams and rivers. This water harms the streams and rivers by doing what?
transporting pollution
What is the low bedrock ridges and peaks of a highly eroded basin and range desert landscape called?
inselbergs
When do steams erode sediments?
Streams constantly erode sediments. Anytime the water is moving, sediments are being eroded
What happens to earth's crust when mountains are eroded?
The Earth's crust becomes weathered, and this can affect the landscape over time.
Why is there little evidence of the heavy bombardment on earth?
Weather Most of the evidence has been eroded away by the action of wind and water.
What causes a karst landscape?
ans2. A karst landscape develops where there is an underlying limestone basement, which is being eroded by rainfall infiltration.Sometimes there are sinkholes, sometimes limestone outcroppings. Generally underground drainage, and generally no surface water.a karst landscape is formed by compressed limestone..
Where to meandering streams occur?
On the outer bank (at the tip of the meander)
How could you determine if a meteor has struck an area if all topographic evidence is eroded away?
One can look for the presence of iridium and for evidence of shocked quartz in the rocks.
Arroyo wadi and Nullah are terms used in different parts of the world for the same physical feature. What is the feature?
canyons, often dry, eroded by streams or rivers,
How is water running water the main process that shapes Earth's landscape?
