Exam 11: Streams and Floods

Use the Hydrologic Cycle diagram to answer this question. -In a humid climate, which process contributes the greatest volume of water?

Use the diagram to answer this question. -What happens when fresh water in an aquifer comes in contact with salt water?

-For the diagram above, which stage would exhibit the largest discharge for the cross section of the stream assuming velocity is constant?

Use this stream-related diagram to answer the following questions. -Predict where channel roughness is greatest.

Suppose a stream flows from its headwaters, through a reservoir to its mouth in the Gulf of Mexico. Where is ultimate base level?

Flood plains are depositional features.

-Which stream pattern would most likely develop based on the geology shown above?

What principle type of load removes the material where there are caves?

Use the diagram to answer this question. -Where is the most deposition occurring?

Floods usually only affect human development in flood plains.

The following diagram illustrates the Hydrologic Cycle. Match the letters below to the arrow on the diagram (note: some letters may be used for more than one arrow). Example: If you believe that water passes from clouds to streams by evaporation then choose answer a) for arrow 3. -Match the letters below to the arrow on the diagram for number 5. (Note: some letters may be used for more than one arrow).

The following diagram illustrates the Hydrologic Cycle. Match the letters below to the arrow on the diagram (note: some letters may be used for more than one arrow). Example: If you believe that water passes from clouds to streams by evaporation then choose answer a) for arrow 3. -Match the letters below to the arrow on the diagram for number 2. (Note: some letters may be used for more than one arrow).

Construction of an asphalt parking lot at a mall is likely to increase local flooding by increasing infiltration rates.

Floods only occur when there is excessive short-term precipitation or a dam failure.

The following diagram illustrates the Hydrologic Cycle. Match the letters below to the arrow on the diagram (note: some letters may be used for more than one arrow). Example: If you believe that water passes from clouds to streams by evaporation then choose answer a) for arrow 3. -Match the letters below to the arrow on the diagram for number 1. (Note: some letters may be used for more than one arrow).

The following diagram illustrates the Hydrologic Cycle. Match the letters below to the arrow on the diagram (note: some letters may be used for more than one arrow). Example: If you believe that water passes from clouds to streams by evaporation then choose answer a) for arrow 3. -Match the letters below to the arrow on the diagram for number 4. (Note: some letters may be used for more than one arrow).

The headwaters of a stream are where it empties to local or ultimate base level.

-What can one deduce (figure out) about a region by analyzing stream patterns in an aerial photograph or a map?

The following diagram illustrates the Hydrologic Cycle. Match the letters below to the arrow on the diagram (note: some letters may be used for more than one arrow). Example: If you believe that water passes from clouds to streams by evaporation then choose answer a) for arrow 3. -Match the letters below to the arrow on the diagram for number 3. (Note: some letters may be used for more than one arrow).

What happens to the volume of water that passes from groundwater to streams during a prolonged drought?
