Cloud condensation nuclei consist mostly of salt particles over these massive features on our planet's surface.
What are seas or oceans.
100
Along with cloud condensation nuclei, air must be in this condition for condensation to occur.

Rills are small grooves which running water can enlarge to form
IEULSGL
What gullies
200
A meander that becomes isolated from the rest of the river

200
Of clay, gravel, sand, or silt, the size of sediment that will likely settle first as the stream's velocity decreases.
What is gravel?
200
A visible aggregation of moisture or ice particles suspended in the atmosphere could be most commonly referred to as this.
What is a cloud

Characteristics of these include: generally located in low-lying areas, natural levees, intimate linkage to the water level of a stream
What are floodplains?
300
Any large cave formed by a chemical process
ANECRV
What is a cavern?
300
When a river slows down as it reaches it's base level, this is formed where its mouth opens to a large body of water
What is a delta?
300
The pair of stream terms and definitions that is incorrectly matched:
cutbank & outer portion of a stream meander;
Point bar & area of substantial erosion;
Braided stream & maze of interconnected channels;
Aggradation & sediment accumulation in the stream channel
What is
Point bar--area of substantial erosion
300
The drop in stream elevation per unit distance
What is gradient
300
Channel width, depth, and velocity are the considerations of this measurement of a stream.
What is discharge?
400
The process of breaking rock down without any chemical alterations; examples include exfoliation, frost wedging, and salt crystal growth.

What is physical weathering
400
The area of land from which all water on it flows to the same place
What is a watershed?
400
Unconsolidated matter deposited by running water
What is alluvium?
400
A channel begins to erode downward at a faster rate when this happens in its headwater region
What is tectonic uplift
400
These streams only flow for certain periods during a year
