Name 2 out of the 3 stream table setups used in class.
Standard, Slope and Flood
100
An elevation of 0 meters is called what.
Sea Level
100
Which of these is can be a considered a model?
A. actual building
B. a toy boat
B. a toy boat
200
A nearly level area that has been uplifted.

200
A representation of an object or process.
model
200
Which setup between slope and standard did the water drain faster.
Slope
200
If the scale of a map is 1 cm = 500 m, then 5 cm equals how many meters?
2,500 m
200
Which event happened faster in the stream table setup?
A. Delta
B. Canyon
B. Canyon
300
A fan-shaped deposit at the mouth of a river that is caused by deposition.
Delta
300
The process by which eroded materials are deposited in another place. Deltas are formed by this.
Deposition
300
Give one difference between the slope and the standard stream table.
In the slope stream table, canyons get deeper, and delta gets larger because more materials are being deposited.
300
If you were given a map and told to find the actual distance using the map scale what tool would you use first. (bonus: what would you have to do after measuring?)
A. ruler
B. compass
C. astrolabe
Ruler (bonus: multiply by the scale amount)
300
True or False: Symbols in a map key are used to model the real thing in a map.
True
400
A curve of loop in a river.
Meander
400
The vertical distance, or height above sea level. Used to measure mountains.
Elevation
400
Running more water through a stream table than what we used in class would have what result.
More erosion would occur.
400
Contour lines on a map are used to show the changes in what on a map?
Elevation
400
What type of map is used to show elevation changes?
topographic map
500
A mound, hill, or ridge of wind-blown sand.
Dune
500
The angle or slant of a stream channel or land surface.
Slope
500
Which type of particles took longer to be deposited?
A. small
B. large
