These are the three types of weathering that change Earth's geosphere on various spatial and temporal scales
What are physical, chemical and biological
100
This process transports broken up sediment to new locations
What is erosion
100
Which beaker has the greatest permeability?
What is beaker C
100
This part of the water cycle can include snow, hail, ran, or sleet
What is precipitation
100
Name the constructive AND destructive forces at work as a river flows
What are weathering and erosion
200
Frost wedging is an example of this type of weathering
What is physical
200
This factor might increase the rate of erosion in a stream
What is increased water velocity
200
This process describes how easily a fluid can travel through a solid
What is permeability
200
This part of the water cycle occurs when water evaporates directly from the leaves of plants
What is transpiration
200
Identify the two locations water is travelling the slowest
What is B and C
300
The Moon appears to have more impact craters than Earth because there is less of this process on the Moon.
What is weathering
300
This location in a stream has the greatest amount of erosion
What is the outside of a meander
300
Observe beaker C and describe the steps necessary to decrease its permeability.
What is make it unsorted; add in smaller sediments to fill in the existing pore spaces
300
This process turns gaseous water into liquid water as its temperature cools
What is condensation
300
Identify the two locations deposition is occurring
What is B and C
400
This type of chemical weathering is caused by the interaction of iron and the oxygen in water
What is oxidation
400
After a rainstorm, the discharge is greater from a stream that drains a clay-soil area than from a stream that drains a sand-and-gravel soil area. This discharge differs because the clay soil is
What is less permeable, smaller grained
400
Which beaker has the greatest porosity?
What is they all have the same porosity.
400
This is the process of water flowing over fully saturated surfaces or impermeable surfaces
What is runoff
400
This is the science term for a curve or bend in a river
What is a meander
500
This type of physical weathering involves rocks becoming smaller and more rounded, due to constantly hitting against each other, usually while traveling down a river.
What is abrasion
500
Gravity and excess groundwater are agents of erosion that cause
What are landslides
500
These two conditions are required to increase runoff (water cycle and ground condition)
What is increased precipitation and impermeable surface
500
Identify the process occurring at step 6
What is infiltration
500
In this part of a river, water travels the fastest
What is the outside of a curve
