1. What Is a Curve in a Stream Called? - Meander

1.  What is a curve in a stream called? - meander

2.  Where in a stream is the water moving fastest in a curve? - outside

3.  What happens on the outside of a meander in a stream? - erosion

4.  What happens on the inside of a meander in a stream? - Deposition

5.  How is a delta formed? Where is it located?- a fan shaped deposit at the end of a river

6.  Explain how an oxbow lake formed? Draw how an oxbow lake is formed.- When a stream or river changes path

7.  What is a Watershed? How can you find it on a map in the reference tables? - an area where water flows from, or surface water that feeds a river

8.  What causes a stream to increase in velocity? Increase in gradient/slope or more water volume

9.  Looking at a cross section of a stream, where is the stream moving fastest?

10.  Label picture on the left with E for where Erosion occurs and D for where Deposition occurs. Put an F where velocity of stream is fastest in the curve and in the straight section.

11.  Where do glaciers form? -higher elevations, colder climate, high latitude

12.  Where would glaciers be found in the northern Hemisphere? North

13.  Which way did glaciers move within the northern hemisphere? From North to South

14.  What shape are stream valleys in streams vs glaciers? Streams are V-shaped, Glacier shaped valleys are U-shaped

15.  Are particles deposited by a stream sorted or unsorted? Sorted

16.  What force causes glacial movement? - gravity

17.  What kind of weathering occurs around glaciers? - frost wedging, abrasion

18.  Sediments deposited by glaciers are (sorted or unsorted)? Unsorted

19.  Know the drainage patterns of streams and what the features look like in a cross section.

20.  How would a volcanic mountain’s drainage pattern look?

21.  What affects stream drainage? Landscape, topography, structural features of bedrock

22.  What causes differences in landscape? Bedrock and climate

23.  Where would you find a floodplain? Around a stream or river

24.  What is an arid climate? - dry

25.  How does a moist climate affect a landscape? - rolling hills, less jagged, smoother rocks.

26.  What does a plateau look like? steep valleys, horizontal rock layers

27.  What happens to glaciers when more snow falls in winter than can melt in the summer? Snowmass is amount of snow. Increase in size and advances down mountain

28.  When was the last continental ice sheet in New York State? Look at reference tables - Pleistocene

29.  What is evidence of rocks being moved by glaciers? striations/scratching, glacial erratics, unsorted sediments, grooves in bedrock

30.  What is a terminal moraine? It marks the farthest reach of the glacier

31.  What does equilibrium mean in a stream or river? The rate of deposition equals the rate of erosion

32.  What is the most important factor in determining landscape change? Climate

33.  If two particles of the same density, but different sizes settle, which sizes settle first? Large or small? Largest settles first

34.  Which particle will settle out first as a stream slows down? (ESSRT pg 6) Which particle will settle last as a stream slows down? Small particles settle last, large particles settle first.
