ENERGY AND WATER
MAY THE FORCE OF MOVING WATER BE WITH YOU
ROLLING ON A RIVER
ICE, ICE BABY
ICE POWER
100
The ability to do work or cause change.
What is Energy
100
A river will flow faster when this is steeper.
What is slope
100
Most sediment enters a river in one of two ways. Name one.
What is landslide or mudslide
100
A large mass of ice that moves slowly over land.
What is a glacier
200
Energy that is stored and available to be used later.
What is Potential Energy
200
When there is a higher volume of flow, a river will run how?
What is faster
200
The amount of sediment a river can carry
What is load
200
This type of glacier spreads out over large areas and currently covers about 10% of the Earth's surface (most of Greenland and Antarctica).
What is Continental Glacier.
200
As a glacier moves across the land, they pick up rocks and freeze to the bottom in this process.
What is plucking
300
Energy that an object has due to its motion.
What is Kinetic Energy
300
A river will run faster when the depth of the river is _____?
What is deeper
300
Large sediment will move this way in a river.
What is being dragged or rolling along the bottom.
300
This type of glacier forms high in mountains. It stays narrow and long and is held in by the sides of mountains.
What is Valley Glacier.
300
As a glacier moves the sediment on the bottom scratches and gouges the bedrock. This is called:
What is abrasion
400
As water is pulled down a slope, this type of energy is changed into this kind of energy.
What are potential and kinetic.
400
A river will run faster when the streambed is ______?
What is smoother
400
Clay or silt will do this in a river.
What is dissolve in the water.
400
One time in the past when continental glaciers covered large parts of Earth's surface.
What is an ice age.
400
The sediment that glaciers deposit is called
What is till
500
This force pulls water down a slope.
What is Gravity
500
When rocks or other obstacles cause the river water to move every which way instead of downstream.
What is turbulance
500
Medium pieces of sediment move this way in a river
What is bounce around.
500
A glacier forms where?
What is in areas where more snow falls than melts.
500
When a valley glacier moves suddenly it is called a
What is surge
