2 The largest soil texture which drains water rapidly is ________.

3 Sand

4 The soil texture which is a combination of the other three textures is ________.

5 Loam

6 Acid precipitation would be an example of which type of weathering?

7 Chemical

8 What is the difference between weathering and erosion?

9 Weathering is the breaking down of rock into sediment, and erosion means that the sediment has been moved to a different location.

11 Air and Water

12 The high point that separates watersheds is called a ______.

13 Divide

14 Which river system is responsible for draining most of the United States?

15 Mississippi River System

16 Define how to calculate the DISCHARGE of a stream.

17 Depth x Width x Velocity

18 What is the difference between an alluvial fan and a delta?

19 Alluvial fans are river deposits on land, and deltas are river deposits found in water.

20 On which side of a meander would you find deposition?

22 A cone-shaped deposit on the ceiling of a cavern is called a _______.

23 Stalactite

24 The type of topography in which you find sinkholes, caverns, and disappearing streams is called ________.

25 Karst Topography

26 The layer below the water table in which the pore space is completely filled with water is the zone of _____.

27 Saturation

28 A layer of in the ground in which water is stored or in which water can easily pass through is called a(n) ______.

29 Aquifer

30 When gravity forces groundwater between two impermeable layers so that water rises to the surface, the result is a(n) _____.

31 Artesian Well

32 Large boulders transported great distances by glaciers are called _____.

33 Erratics

34 A ridge of glacial till deposited by the glacial ice sheet forms a _____.

35 Moraine

36 A round bowl-shaped depression formed where a glacier starts eroding the land is called a _____.

37 Cirque

38 Name three features formed by glacial erosion?

39 Cirque, Horn, Arete, U-shaped Valley, Roche Moutonees, or Hanging Valley

40 Name four features formed by glacial deposition.

41 Till, Moraine, Outwash Plain, Kettle, Esker, Drumlin, or Erratic

42 When the top of a sea arch collapses, what is formed?

43 Sea Stack

44 In what direction does the longshore current move?

45 Parallel to the Shoreline

46 The leeward side of a sand dune is (more or less) steep than the windward side.

47 More

48 A crescent-shaped dune with the tips pointing downwind is called a _____ dune.

49 Barchan

50 A dune where sand is plentiful, forming long series of ridges and troughs, and where the wind is blowing across the ridges, forms a _________ dune.
