What's an alluvial fan?
What is a sloping deposit I'd sediment formed where a stream leaves a MOUNTAIN RANGE

Explain the Runoffs for deserts and forests
What is
1) deserts are HIGH RUNOFF and HIGH EROSION
2) forests are HIGH RAINS but LOW RUNOFF
100
What are rills?
What is they are tiny grooves in the ground formed by......... RUNOFFS!

What is a tributary? Give AN EXAMPLE
What is a stream THAT FLOWS INTO A BIGGER RIVER SO PEOPLE CAN DIE
Example: Ohio river
200
Explain floodplains
What is water travels gently over SLOPING LANDS. it spreads out forming a RIVER VALLEY. It is the flat wide area along the river.

What's a delta?
What is SEDIMENT DEPOSITED WHERE A RIVER FLOWS INTO THE OCEAN AND IS A VARITEY OF SHAPES

What is a sheet erosion and what does it do?
What is it is water that flows in a thin layer over land
300
Explain Meanders
What is flows through easily eroded rock and it is a looping bend. Common along WIDE FLOOD PLAINS
300
What happens when water goes on flood plains?
What is it leaves new FERTILE SOIL YUM
300
What is a runoff?

What is the groundwater process?
What is
1) water sinks into the ground and combines with carbon dioxide
2) forms carbonic acid and breaks down limestone
3) limestone particles are carried away and it CREATES CAVES OR CAVERNS WOW I HATE EDALYN

Through ersosion river create four things. What r they?
What is an oxbow lake, meander, waterfalls, and floodplains

What's the process of cave formation?
What is
1) carbon ice acid+limestone=deposition calcite
2)calcite on the roof=STALACTITES
3)dripping builds cone shape=STALAGMITES
