100
water cycle
What is an unending circulation of water?
100
A depositional feature that forms where a stream enters the ocean or a lake.
What is a delta?
100
Competence increases with
What is velocity?
100
Forms where the water table intersects the grounds surface.
What is a spring?
200
The largest load a stream carries.
What is a suspended load?
200
Balance in the water cycle means
What is Precipitation = Evaporation?
200
Created when a stream is far above its base level.
What is a floodplain?
200
Maximum load a stream can hold.
What is capacity?
200
Type of rock that usually underlies a KARST landscape
What is Limestone?
300
The lowest point that a stream can erode its channel.
What is base level?
300
The land that contributes water to a stream.
What is a Drainage Basin (or Watershed)?
300
On the outside bend of a meander, a stream will erode the bank or deposit material.
What is erode the bank?
300
Two factors that determine the ability of streams to carry a load.
What are competence and capacity?
300
Permeable rock layer that freely transmits groundwater.
What are aquifers?
400
A feature that influences a stream's velocity the most.
What is the gradient?
400
Provides the water cycle with energy.
What is the sun?
400
Streams that flow in floodplains create
What are meanders?
400
Streams erode by lifting, abrasion, ______________, and dissolving.
What is grinding?
400
Zone where groundwater is found.
What is the saturation zone?
500
Two types of work that streams perform.
What is erosion and material transport?
500
Occurs more over the ocean.
What is evaporation?
500
On the inside of a meander, a stream will erode the bank or deposit material.
What is deposit material?
500
The course that water in a stream follows.
What is a stream channel?
500
Formed by the dissolving power of groundwater, resulting in a sinkhole
