A soil associated with the hot and wet tropics is
What is formed by glacial erosion
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.
What is a thick ice mass that forms over the land from the accumulation compaction and recrystallization of snow is a
A river's discharge is generally greatest
A river discharge is usually greatest at a given fall.
Permeable rock layers or sediments that transmit groundwater freely are called
Aquifers transmit ground water freely.
By what process do streams and rivers move material
Weathering <Lies
Erosion!(:
Fertilizer runoff from a farm is an example of what
nonpoint source pollution
What is the glacial budget
the difference between glacial accumulation and glacial
waste
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
In a stream channel what sediment is deposited first
What do the solid particles of a stream include
bed load and suspended load
What are long sand ridges oriented nearly parallel to the prevailing wind called
Which features are common in areas of karst topography
Sinkholes are common in areas of karst topography
Which landform is not common in an area of karst topography
Surface drainage systems.
Do ice sheets exist today in Greenland and Antarctica
Glacial striations gouged into bedrock allow geologists to understand what
the direction of glacial movement 🥶
In the desert environment the chemical weathering of rocks is generally reduced because
moisture is lacking and organic acids are scarce ;D
What mass movement involves the sudden movement of a block of material along a flat inclined surface is called a
