Landforms
What are the three Landforms?
Upland; outwash/terrace; flood plain
What is the slope formula?
M=lf1-f2l / distance x 100
What section is sand in? (Coarse, Moderately coarse, Medium, Moderately Fine, or Fine) And can it be casted or have a ribbon?
Coarse and it has no ribbon or cast.
Do uplands have a weak or strong development?
It is strongly developed.
What is the parent material of Upland?
No, you need to have the absolute value.
Does moderately coarse have ribboning or cast?
No ribboning but there is a cast.
Is an outwash/terrace have a strong or weak development?
It is strongly developed.
What is the parent material of Outwash/terrace?
a. outwash or lacustrine deposit
or
b. eolian sand
What do I do if I have feet and yards in my slope equation?
Change yards to feet or feet to yards. They need to be the same.
What section is clay in and can it be ribboned or casted?
Clay is fine and can be both ribboned and casted.
Is a flood plain weakly or strongly developed?
It is weakly developed.
What is the parent material of flood plain?
Alluvium sand
Will my slope be in decimal form or percentage form?
Always percentage form, nothing else.
It is in medium and can be casted but has a crumbly ribbon.
What is soil?
Providing plants with essential nutrients, water, and anchorage
Where are uplands; outwash/terrace; and flood plains located?
1. uplands - highest of landscapes, above lowlands. associated with rivers and streams
2. Intermediate levels. Between uplands and floodplains.
3. Lowest part of the landscape.
Do you have to only use feet?
No, it just all has to be the same measurement.
Yes, it can be casted and has up to two inches of ribbon.
What is one thing soil is able to do for you?
Example: It holds the root in so it keeps our food in the ground and we are able to eat it.
Example: It gives nutrients to the plants in the soil.
