Landforms
100

Water, wind, ice and gravity are forms of physical weathering, unlike _______ and ______which are forms of chemical weathering.

What is ACID RAIN, ACID GROUNDWATER, or LICHEN?

100

This lake covers over 400,000 acres of area and is the largest lake in Florida.

What is LAKE OKEECHOBEE?

100

______ create U-shaped valleys while _______ make V-shaped valleys.

What are GLACIERS and RIVERS?

100
These are two ways that rocks are broken down into smaller pieces.

What are chemical and physical weathering?

100

These large, frozen landforms can be found on every continent, including Africa.

What is a GLACIER?

200

Decaying leaves affect rocks in the soil below them by releasing acids which could cause this.

What is CHEMICAL WEATHERING?

200
This must exist before a sinkhole can form.

What is a CAVE?

200

Wind can erode and deposit this very fine form of sediment.

What is LOESS?

200

These two formations can be created only by wind.

What are dunes and mushroom rocks?

200

A ______ is formed by deposited sand in the water near a beach but moves and has little vegetation (plants) growing on it.

What is a SANDBAR?

300

This is created when a river slows down, depositing sediment as it flows into a large body of water.

What is a DELTA?

300

When a lake in Florida loses water and becomes shallower, ______ is the most likely reason.

What is LACK OF RAINFALL?

300
Rockfalls, mudflows, landslides and this are all ways in which gravity can move land down a slope.

What is a CREEP?

300

These two living organisms can contribute to physical weathering.

What are plants and animals?

300

I want to go camping by dunes. These two places are where I can find them.

What are DESERTS and BEACHES.

400

Rivers deposit sediment past their delta and into the ocean. This reason could explain why a river might drop its sediment in the delta itself.

What is a lack of rain/low water levels?

400

These landforms are the reason Florida changes size as sea levels go up and down with the world's climate.

What are GLACIERS?

400

These two landforms are clues that a continental glacier created them.

What are KETTLE LAKES and ERRATICS?

400

These "-ion" processes are forms of both chemical and physical weathering.

What are OXIDATION and ABRASION?

400

When a cave collapses forming a sinkhole, ______ will determine whether it can hold water and become a lake.

What is SEDIMENT?

500

Like a delta, this is formed when a stream carrying sediment slows and weakens, depositing its sediment on land.

What is an ALLUVIAL FAN?

500

These two animals contribute to physical weathering here on Marco Island.

What are GOPHER TORTOISES and BURROWING OWLS?

500

Limestone is a very soft rock that reacts easily to acids, while quartz is a very hard mineral that does not. Explain two methods to test which is which using physical and chemical methods.

Many different tests are available, but it's up to Mr. Beck to decide whether you answered right :)

500

These two properties influence how much erosion the stream makes.

What are SPEED and VOLUME (AMOUNT OF WATER)?

500
This forms when windy desert areas are almost completely cleared of sand, leaving behind many, many rocks.

What is DESERT PAVEMENT?
