What causes more erosion, more water or less slope?
What is more water

A fan-shaped deposit of earth materials at the mouth of a stream.
What is delta

What is plain

What is mountain
400
A small representation of something that is real.
What is model
400
How are models and maps different? How are they the same?

500
For double the points, What scale is larger? 1:1,000 or 1:2,000
What is 1:1,000
