Weathering
These are the two types of weathering
What are mechanical and chemical weathering
Weathered material is carried away in this process
What is erosion
This is what we would call a continuous stream of water
What is a stream
This is formed from groundwater erosion.
What is Karst topography.
They are large masses of ice that moved slowly over the land
what are glaciers?
This type of weathering breaks down rocks into smaller pieces
What is mechanical weathering
This is the term for where the weathered material gets laid down
It describes a large curve in a river formed by years of erosion
What is a meander
This type of rock is dissolved by carbonic acid, forming holes
What is limestone
What is wave erosion
This chemical solution dissolves limestone and other rocks
What is carbonic acid
When wind removes surface materials
What is Deflation
All the rivers and its tributaries drain into this
what is a watershed
These features are formed from a karst topography
What are caves and sinkholes
The glacier picks up rocks as it flows over land
What is plucking
This is formed when a metal surface is exposed to moisture and oxygen
What is rust
This is a large downhill movement of materials, triggered by rain, earthquakes, or human activities
What are landslides.
These form after rainstorms, carrying sediment and causing erosion
What are Rills and Gullies
These icicle like rocks form on the roof of caves from ceilings
What are stalactites
This region did not receive any glacial drifting during the glaciation periods
What is the driftless region
They grow into rocks, causing them to spit apart into smaller pieces
What are roots
The way any material moves or flows is caused by this
What is gravity.
The area where deposition happens on a meandering stream
What is a point bar
What is Florida
These are narrow deposits of sand that run parallel to the coastline
What are barrier islands
