Study Notes
Landforms and Landscapes
- Karst refers to landforms and landscapes dominated by water's ability to remove rock pieces from stream channels.
Streams and Rivers
- The physical process by which water alone removes rock pieces from a stream channel is called erosion.
- The largest size particle that a stream can carry depends on the stream's velocity.
- Stream gradients tend to be gentler towards the mouth of a stream.
- Streams with intermittent flow are empty of water some of the year.
- The steepest stream gradient tends to occur near the source of a stream.
- Two third-order streams must join to form a second-order stream.
Weather and Climate
- Squall lines form most often ahead of a low-pressure system.
- A sequence of porous and permeable layers of sediment or rock that acts as a storage medium and transmitter of water is called an aquifer.
- The two most common indicators for describing climate are temperature and precipitation.
- A occluded front forms when a cold front overtakes a warm front.
Geology and Weathering
- Caverns most commonly develop in soluble rocks like limestone and dolomite.
- Icicle-shaped rock spikes hanging from the ceiling of caverns are called stalactites.
- Rust is an example of chemical weathering.
- Lateral sliding of tectonic plates along boundaries is called transform motion.
- Tornado intensities are determined by wind speed.
- Soil water is found in the zone of aeration.
- Earth's inner core is primarily composed of iron and nickel.
Coastal Landforms
- Most waves that impact the coastal zone are caused by wind.
- A coastal depositional landform attached to the mainland at just one end point is called a spit.
- When a meander cut-off occurs during a flood, an oxbow lake can be formed.
Miscellaneous
- The cP air mass of North America is usually associated with a source region in Canada.
- A greenhouse gas that is currently thought to be a significant cause of recent global warming is carbon dioxide.
- The boundary between adjacent drainage basins is called a watershed.
- Hurricanes tend to intensify when they move over warm ocean waters.
- A north American example of a transform plate boundary is the San Andreas Fault.
- Most of Earth's freshwater is found in glaciers and polar ice caps.
