What is the relationship between stream erosion and kinetic energy?
It is direct, and the amount of stream erosion increases, kinetic energy increases also.
What is the name given to lakes formed through glacial erosion?
The name given to lakes formed through glacial erosion is "glacial lakes." These lakes are created when glaciers carve out depressions in the land, which then fill with melted ice and water. They often have unique characteristics, such as a circular shape and steep sides.
Which is not a sediment transporting agent from the following list - Stream water wind storm glacial ice and stratification?
Stratification as this is a term that describes the layering of rocks and so is not a term that is related to sediment transport (i.e. erosion) but is instead the result of deposition, compaction and cementation.
What does the rate of stream discharge has to do with erosion and deposition?
rate of stream discharge is directly proportional to the erosion i.e the higher the velocity of the stream then it will erode the rock rapidly while the deposition process will be slow when the velocity will be high.
Does a mature stream cause little erosion?
Yes. As a stream gets older and older it's strength and speed reduces (like in humans). So, erosion is reduced.
How does glacial erosion begin?
Glacial erosion requires movement. Thus, glacial erosion begins as soon as the glacier starts moving.
A stream Valley Land form is the most common result of what?
A stream valley is usually 'V' shaped, formed by erosion from a stream. A glacial valley is usually 'U' shaped, formed by the action of a glacier.
What is a glacial stream?
A glacial stream is a stream of liquid water on, in, or under a glacier, moving under the influence of gravity.
Does a you shaped valley indicate glacial erosion?
A 'U' shaped valley indicates glacial erosion.
Where does the greatest stream erosion occur?
The greatest stream erosion typically occurs in areas with high flow rates, steep slopes, and unstable substrates. This can happen in regions with heavy rainfall, glacial meltwater, or areas prone to flash flooding. Additionally, human activities like deforestation or construction can also contribute to increased stream erosion.
What are the types of features that form from glacial erosion?
Glacial Erosion formed Yosemite Valley and the Sierra Nevada
Is a glacial lake a result of deposition or erosion?
A glacial lake is typically a result of both erosion and deposition. Glacial erosion carves out depressions in the landscape, creating basins where water accumulates. Meanwhile, glacial deposition can form moraines or other features that dam up water and contribute to the formation of a glacial lake.
Is a glacial Lake a result of erosion or deposition?
erosion
How is glacial erosion affecting people?
Erosion and weathering
What are the three main types of erosion?
The 3 main types of glacial erosion are plucking, abrasion and freeze thaw.
What is the landscape of the mountain region?
Plateau- it has a horizontal bedrock structure and is a continuation of the Allegheny plateau. It looks like mountains because of stream and glacial erosion.
What is formed by glacial erosion?
Eskers
