The largest diameter that a stream moving 50 cm/sec can carry.
What is 1.0 cm?
When water freezes it does this, causing rocks to break.
What is expand?
A fan shaped deposit where a river flows off a mountain onto a flat plain.
What is an alluvial fan?
This process causes rock particles to become rounded in a stream
What is abrasion?
Particles deposited by glacial ice have this characteristic.
What is unsorted?
The minimum velocity that can carry a particle with a diameter of 0.1 cm.
What is 5 cm/sec?
Particles deposited by glacial melt water have this characteristic.
What is sorted?
An island along the coast that is moved by ocean currents.
What is a barrier island?
The relationship between particle size carried by a stream and the slope of the stream.
What is as the slope of the stream increases the size of the particle it can carry increases.
Particles deposited by a landslide have this characteristic.
What is unsorted?
or
What is angular?
A stream drops these particles when it slows from 100 cm/sec to 1 cm/sec.
What are Pebbles and Sand?
This glacial feature composed of till shows the direction of a glaciers' movement.
What is a drumlin?
A triangle shaped deposit where a river enters an ocean.
What is a delta?
Streams are more likely to meander of the slope of the land is this.
What is gentle.
This particle type is deposited first when a stream slows down.
What is largest?
or
What is the most dense?
or
What is the most round?
Valleys shaped by a glacier have this shape.
What is a U shape?
A round lake caused by a block of ice being trapped in glacial outwash, then melting is this type of lake.
What is a kettle lake?
Dissolving limestone is this type of weathering.
What is chemical?
Streams are most likely to be straight if the slope of the stream is this.
What is steep?
This is a way to change the velocity of a stream.
What is increase the slope?
or
What is increase the discharge?
or
What is make the channel narrower?
What is a V shape?
This glacial feature in the bedrock shows the direction of movement.
What are striations?
Soil creep, mud flows, landslides, and rock falls are this type of process.
What are mass movements?
A stream is deepest on this part of a curve, for this reason. (2 Part Answer!)
What is on the outside because it moves fastest there?
Particles deposited by wind can have this unusual pattern, characteristic of sand in a sand dune.
What is cross bedding?
