Wind carrying sand grains deposits the sand when the wind
Wind carrying sand grains deposits the sand when the wind slows
down or hits an obstacle.
Abrasion changes the desert surface by
cutting and polishing exposed rock surface
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!(:
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
In a stream channel what sediment is deposited first
Which factor does not influence stream velocity
What type of sand dunes will likely form if the sand supply is limited the wind direction is constant and vegetation is sparse
How did deflation affect the dust bowl in the 1930s
What are long sand ridges oriented nearly parallel to the prevailing wind called
Glacial striations gouged into bedrock allow geologists to understand what
the direction of glacial movement 🥶
Occasionally deposition causes the main channel of a stream to divide into several smaller channels called
The main channel of a stream divides into several smaller
creeks. Occasionally, deposition causes the main channel of a
stream to divide into several smaller channels called
distributaries.
In the desert environment the chemical weathering of rocks is generally reduced because
moisture is lacking and organic acids are scarce ;D
What 'If you were to examine the profile of a typical stream you would probably find that the gradient is .
..decreasing from top to bot..
