Study Notes
Chemical Weathering
- Chemical weathering works fastest in colder/drier climates
Water Properties
- Water held tightly to sediment grains is called adhesive water
Salinity
- Water with a salinity between 15 and 35 parts per thousand is considered normal marine salinity
Groundwater
- A permeable body of rock that contains and stores water underground is an aquifer
Aquifer Characteristics
- The largest aquifers occur in regions with abundant porous sediment, such as sand and gravel, over broad geographic regions
Ocean Currents
- Regular and predictable oscillations that occur with respect to the level of the world's oceans are tides
- A current that develops parallel to the coast when waves approach a coast at an oblique angle and forward momentum is deflected is a longshore current
Karst Features
- A cavity in rock, produced by the dissolution of calcium carbonate and is large enough for a human to enter, is a cave
- A feature that forms in a cave when water, containing calcium carbonate, comes out of solution to create a formation on the ceiling is a stalactite
Wave Characteristics
- The vertical measurement of a wave from its crest to the base is its amplitude
