A soil associated with the hot and wet tropics is
Abrasion changes the desert surface by
cutting and polishing exposed rock surface
If a stream's discharge decreases how does it affect the stream's capacity
The capacity of a stream is the maximum load it can carry.
Capacity is directly related to a stream's discharge. The greater
the volume of water in a stream is, the greater its capacity is for
carrying sediment. So if a stream's discharge decreases, the
stream's capacity also decreases.
Fertilizer runoff from a farm is an example of what
nonpoint source pollution
What force causes most of the erosion in desert areas
What are the three main types of glacial erosion
The 3 main types of glacial erosion are plucking, abrasion and
freeze thaw.
Why are limiting development on floodplains effective
Limiting development on floodplains is effective in controlling
floods because this allows floodplains to absorb floodwaters
without harm to structures
What are rock features such as the sculpted pinnacles seen in Bryce Canyon National Park he result of
What do the solid particles of a stream include
bed load and suspended load
Which of the following statement about the ice age is true
During the ice ages, icy glaciers covered much of the
continents.
What cause the shape of star dunes
What type of sand dunes will likely form if the sand supply is limited the wind direction is constant and vegetation is sparse
What do stratified drift consist mostly of
What are long sand ridges oriented nearly parallel to the prevailing wind called
What are ridges that form on the sides of glacial valleys as a glacier melts
What does running water while occurring infrequently in deserts do
does most of the erosional work.
Glacial striations gouged into bedrock allow geologists to understand what
the direction of glacial movement 🥶
During the recent ice age glaciers covered almost what percent of earths land
During the recent ice age, glaciers covered almost 30 percent of
earths land.
In the desert environment the chemical weathering of rocks is generally reduced because
moisture is lacking and organic acids are scarce ;D
