A soil associated with the hot and wet tropics is

Definition1/16

laterite

Term1/16

Wind carrying sand grains deposits the sand when the wind

Definition1/16

Wind carrying sand grains deposits the sand when the wind slows down or hits an obstacle.

Term1/16

If a stream's discharge decreases how does it affect the stream's capacity

Definition1/16

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.

Term1/16

Permeable rock layers or sediments that transmit groundwater freely are called

Definition1/16

Aquifers transmit ground water freely.

Term1/16

Fertilizer runoff from a farm is an example of what

Definition1/16

nonpoint source pollution

Term1/16

What are the three main types of glacial erosion

Definition1/16

The 3 main types of glacial erosion are plucking, abrasion and freeze thaw.

Term1/16

Why are limiting development on floodplains effective

Definition1/16

Limiting development on floodplains is effective in controlling floods because this allows floodplains to absorb floodwaters without harm to structures

Term1/16

What are rock features such as the sculpted pinnacles seen in Bryce Canyon National Park he result of

Definition1/16

differential weathering

Term1/16

What do the solid particles of a stream include

Definition1/16

bed load and suspended load

Term1/16

Why don't most desert streams empty into the ocean

Definition1/16

Ephemeral deserts streams dry up before they reach the ocean

Term1/16

How did deflation affect the dust bowl in the 1930s
