This feature is created by spinning pebbles trapped in small depression
What is pothole?
100
This uneven shape delta has many distributary channels that branches out from the main river channel.
What is bird's foot delta?
100
This form of drainage pattern is the most common. looks the the veins of a leaf.
What is dendritic?
100
This refers to how fast water can pass through rock layers
What is permeability?
200
In this state, sediments are only able to move when the river velocity reaches its fastest.
What is traction?
200
In this part of the meander, water flows the fastest, creating a steep bank
What is undercut bank?
200
This delta occurs in the transition zone between fresh water body and ocean water body.
What is Estuary delta?
200
Features like V-shaped valley, waterfalls, rapids are characteristics of this stage of river development.
What is young stage?
200
In this type of well, the permeable rock layer is sandwiched between two impermeable rock layers. Pressure from two impermeable rock layers squeezes the water from permeable rock layer to the surface
What is artisian well?
300
In this state, the river transports as much as half of its sediment load. Invisible to human eyes
What is solution?
300
This is the shallowest part of the river due to deposition.
What is point bar (slip- off slope)?
300
This delta is shaped bent or curved like a bow, has many distributary channels. Niles river delta is a classic example of this delta.
What is arcuate delta?
300
This erosional process is carried out by moving water. The greater the velocity of the river, the greater the erosion process.
What is hydraulic action?
300
This karst landscape is created by combining multiple sinkholes together in one area, causing a large depression.
What is uvala?
400
In this state, sediments do not touch the bottom of the river.
What is suspension?
400
This feature is created by uplifting flood plain. it looks like a staircase
What is river terrace?
400
This feature is created when braided river channels leaves its deposits along the river. Without the help from vegetation, this feature will continually change.
What is sand bars?
400
This erosional process caused by debris such as sand, polishes the rocks into smooth round shape.
What is abrasion?
400
This karst feature is created by dripping water from the cave ceiling. This is the base for karst column (pillar).
What is stalagmite?
500
Solution, suspension, saltation, and traction is organized by this of the sediments
What is weight (size)?
500
Found in broad flood plain, this feature is created as the river straightens its path by cutting through some meanders. Occurs in the aging rivers.
What is Oxbow lake?
500
This delta will increase in size every year because this delta is present near the river with large sediment load.
What is constructive delta?
500
Desertification and subsiding land is consequences of this.
What is over usage of groundwater?
500
Created by minerals carried in solution, This feature is created near hot springs and geysers. Pamukkale in Turkey is an example of this.
