Exam 10: Weathering, Karst Landscapes, and Mass Movement

Because rivers constitute such a small percentage of Earth's total water supply, they play a small role in landform change.

In response to the occurrence of a local base level,

The weathering of limestone can create circular depressions known as

Increased velocity and a rough channel can produce a

If you live in an area that was flooded by the 100-year flood last year, you can conclude that

Which of the following countries is noted for its spectacular tower karst?

If the capacity of a stream is exceeded, ________ will occur.

Rectangular drainage patterns form as a result of ________.

Which of the following is incorrectly matched?

Which of the following stream channel forms is likely to develop when aggradation greatly exceeds erosion?

All unit movement of materials propelled and controlled by gravity are referred to as

Terraces form when a river's energy increases.

Which of the following is $\underline {\text { not } }$ necessary for well-developed karst to develop?

Which of the following is false regarding joints?

The radio telescope in Arecibo is set in a landscape formed by chemical weathering processes.

Physical and chemical weathering processes are not separate-they often operate in concert to decompose and dissolve rock.

Carlsbad Caverns was produced by exogenic processes.

If you journeyed to the headwaters of the Rio Grande River in New Mexico, you would find that the material in the channel consists of large cobbles and boulders. However, if you then traveled to the mouth of the river as it enters the Gulf of Mexico, you would find that the channel bed material is composed of sand and silt. The process responsible for this type of change in sediment size is

Stream width, depth, and velocity are all responsive to discharge rates.

As base level is approached by a stream, the ability of a stream to erode its bed
