6 Questions
In laminar flows, all molecules within the fluid move in opposite directions.
False
Ice is a low-viscosity fluid which limits its capacity to transport clastic debris.
False
Turbulent flows are more common in geologically significant flow processes than laminar flows.
True
Laminar flow occurs when there are low flow velocities and high viscosities.
True
Reynolds number promotes turbulence with high flow velocities and low viscosities.
True
Gravity is involved in rock falls but not in debris flows.
False
Test your knowledge on the processes of sediment transport, deposition, and sedimentary structures discussed in Geol 270 Lecture 6. Topics include sediment transport by water, air, waves, tides, ocean currents, and ice.
