2. Also some Weathering and Erosion Review Type of Weathering?
Carbonation or Solution

3. 1) stalactites Type of Rock? Type of Topography? 2) stalagmites Karst
Limestone

4. Type of Weathering?
- Chemical - oxidation

5. Type of Weathering?
Where is it common? Why?
Physical - exfoliation
Desert – high diurnal range in temp.

6. Evidence of?
Aided by?
Mass Wasting (The downslope movement of material under the influence of gravity) i.e. rock fall
Freeze thaw action

7. Type of Mass Wasting?
Resultant Landform
terracettes
Soil Creep

8. Type of Mass Wasting?
A slump is a collapse structure formed in loose sediment by gravity
sliding or by collapse under the weight of overlying younger sediments.

9. Difference between weathering and erosion?
Weathering – the breakdown of rock by chemical or physical means into smaller fragments
Erosion – the transport of weathered rock fragments from the original site

15. Name two fluvial landforms typically associated with location A.
waterfalls, rapids, potholes, V-shaped valleys with interlocking spurs
Name two fluvial landforms typically associated with location B.
levées, floodplains, meanders, oxbow lakes (cut-offs) deltas

16. Name and explain an inaccuracy in the diagram above.

17. In the upper course responses should note
that, in agreement with the model, the course is steep and there is a lot of erosion but that the river only flows quickly intermittently. There are lots of convexities in the profile (waterfalls, rapids) and bed roughness levels are high which effectively means that there is lots of water in contact with the bed, hence the average velocity is slow. In the middle course discharge levels are higher and there is still erosion (lateral and vertical) but in general velocity will increase as bed friction is reduced. The river does not start to slow down. In the lower course the river has high levels of discharge, but again the river does not slow. It becomes much more efficient as the channel becomes deeper, wider and there is less friction. There is still erosion here where meanders continually migrate, eroding laterally on the outside of bends.

18. Lagtime: the period between the maximum precipitation and peak discharge.?
List four factors that affect lagtime?
- Soil and rock type, slope, size, and shape of the drainage basin, drainage density, type and amount of vegetation, land use, and water already in storage (antecedent precipitation)

20. braiding

21. Drainage Pattern?
Dendritic

22. Mississippi river delta = bird’s foot or digitate delta

23. The lowest point to which erosion by running water can take place is called ________________________.
Base level
Example of positive change in base level?
Sea-level rises in relation to the land (or the land sinks in relation to the sea.) Decrease in gradient of the river; increase in deposition and potential flooding of coastal areas.
A negative change in base level increases the potential energy of a river, enabling it to increase its erosive activity; in doing so, it upsets any possible graded long profile. This is known as ________________________.
rejuvenation
What can cause rejuvenation?
- Isostatic rebound once the weight of a glacier has been removed - Uplift due to plate movement; tectonic forces

24. River terrace: remnant of a former floodplain, following vertical erosion caused by rejuvenation, has been left high and dry above the maximum level of present-day flooding; often excellent sites for locations of towns

25. Drainage Pattern?
Radial

26. knickpoint

27. watershed

28. Drainage
Pattern?
trellis

29. What is significant about the water balance for this city?
A water surplus all year as the available precipitation always exceeds the potential evapotranspiration.

30. Name and describe three methods of transport in a river.
Name and describe three methods of erosion by a river other than vertical, headward, or lateral erosion.
- corrasion / abrasion - attrition - hydraulic action - solution / corrosion: related to the chemical composition of the water; eg concentration of carbonic acid which dissolves materials

32. Aswan Dam, Egypt
List four advantages
List four disadvantages

33. Acid Rock drainage: lowering ph + leaching out heavy metals = threat to flora and fauna - a significant concern if 4% or greater content of sulfur in waste rock.
Key Threat to Nearby streams and rivers?

35. List four ways that the urban environment alters the natural hydrologic cycle?

36. Examples of Poor River / Drainage Basin Management leading to increased runoff, erosion, and threat of flooding: “pod”
Poor farming techniques i.e. ploughing against the contours
Overgrazing
Deforestation i.e. large clearcuts

37. Better Management: “prrb ddcp ”
Plough with the contours, terrace farming
Ranchland management i.e. put animals in a pen
Reforestation / afforestation / practice silviculture
Build dikes
Dam
Dredge sediments and gravel from the river bed to increase carrying capacity
Canals to channel water for irrigation and drinking water
- Preserve wetlands
