EROSION
TWO WAYS THAT WEATHERING CAN OCCUR (TYPES OF WEATHERING)
What is PHYSICAL OR MECHANICAL AND CHEMICAL WEATHERING
MAPS THAT SHOW ELEVATION USING CONTOUR LINES
What is TOPOGRAPHIC MAPS
THE REASON SEDIMENTS ARE DEPOSITED
What is THE AGENT SLOWS DOWN OR THE SEDIMENT IS TOO HEAVY
THE DROPPING OF SEDIMENT IN A NEW LOCATION
What is DEPOSITION
THE CHANGE IN ELEVATION BETWEEN TWO CONTOUR LINES
What is CONTOUR INTERVAL
THIS IS NECESSARY BEFORE EROSION CAN TAKE PLACE
What is WEATHERING
LANDFORMS NEAR THE OCEAN THAT ARE CREATED BY DEPOSITION (ONE BY RIVERS, ONE BY WAVES)
What is A BEACH AND DELTA
WEATHERING ALLOWS WHAT GEOLOGIC PROCESS TO OCCUR?
What is EROSION
THREE PROCESSES THAT BEACHES ARE SUBJECTED TO
What is WEATHERING, EROSION, & DEPOSITION
THE SLOPE WHEN CONTOUR LINES ARE CLOSE TOGETHER
What is STEEP
EROSION TAKES PLACE ON THIS SIDE OF A RIVER AND WHY
What is THE OUTSIDE CURVE OF THE RIVER BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE THE WATER IS MOVING THE FASTEST
DEPOSITION BY WIND CREATES THESE
What is SAND DUNES
THE REPEATED FREEZING AND MELTING OF THIS CAUSES ROCKS TO CRACK
What is WATER
HOW WE CAN TELL AN AREA IS RELATIVELY FLAT
What is WHEN THE CONTOUR LINES ARE FAR APART
2 LANDFORMS MADE FROM EROSION BY EACH: RIVERS, WAVES, AND GLACIERS
What is MEANDER, V-SHAPED VALLEY, WATERFALL, CANYON, SEA STACK, HEADLAND, SEA ARCH, SEA CAVE, WAVE-CUT CLIFF,CIRQUE, U-SHAPED VALLEY, HORN, ARETE
2 LANDFORMS MADE FROM DEPOSITION BY EACH: RIVERS, WAVES, GLACIERS
What is DELTA, OXBOW LAKE, ALLUVIAL FAN, FLOOD PLAIN, BEACH, BARRIER SPIT, BARRIER ISLAND/BEACH, SANDBAR, KETTLE LAKE, MORAINE, ERRATIC
A STREAM OF WATER THAT MOVES PARALLEL TO THE SHORE AND MOVES SAND ACROSS THE FACE OF THE BEACH IN A ZIGZAG PATTERN
What is LONGSHORE CURRENT
2 COMMON FEATURES OF TOPOGRAPHIC MAPS ARE MOUNTAINS AND VALLEYS WITH RIVERS AT THE BOTTOM OF THEM. THIS IS HOW WE TELL THESE TWO FEATURES APART FROM EACH OTHER.
What is MOUNTAINS ARE DRAWN WITH CIRCLES GETTING SMALLER TO REPRESENT THE PEAK. VALLEYS ARE DRAWN WITH V SHAPED CONTOUR LINES, USUALLY WITH A BLUE RIVER AT THE POINT OF THE V.
