What are the 4 types of river erosion?

Multiple Choice

River erosion: This process involves the force of water against the bed and the banks

• abrasion/corrasion

• Hydraulic action

• Attrition

• Corrosion

Multiple Choice

River erosion: This is the process by which the bed and the banks are worn down by the rivers load.

• Hydraulic action

• Attrition

• Corrosion

• Abrasion/corrasion

Multiple Choice

River erosion: Materials bump into each other and are smoothed over time as they move down the river.

• Hydraulic action

• abrasion/corrasion

• Corrosion

• Attrition

Multiple Choice

River erosion: Chemical acton of the river water. Acidic nature of the water slowly dissolves materials over time.

• hydraulic action

• corrosion

• attrition

• abrasion/corrasion

What is a long river profile?

Multiple Choice

Whee is the rivers load the largest?

• Upper course

• Middle course

• Lower course

Multiple Choice

Which part of the course will you find the rivers load as a fine sediment?

• Upper course

• Middle course

• Lower course

Multiple Choice

Where is the land a lot flatter?

• Upper course

• Middle course

• Lower course

Multiple Choice

In which part of the course will you find wider river beds?

• Upper course

• Middle Course

• Lower course

water cycle

• Evaporation: occurs when the physical state of water is changed from a liquid state to a gaseous state. 

• Condensation is the process by which water vapour changes it's physical state from a vapour, most commonly, to a liquid. Water vapour condenses onto small airborne particles to form dew, fog, or clouds. 

• Precipitation is the process that occurs when any and all forms of water particles fall from the atmosphere and reach the ground. 

water cycle

• Interception is the process of interrupting the movement of water in the chain of transportation events leading to streams. 

• Percolation is the movement of water though the soil, and it's layers, by gravity and capillary forces.

• Transpiration is the biological process that occurs mostly in the day. Water inside of plants is transferred from the plant to the atmosphere as water vapour through numerous individual leave openings.

• Runoff is flow from a drainage basin or watershed that appears in surface streams.

Open Ended

What are the 7 processes involved in the water cycle?

Drainage basin

A drainage basin is any area of land where precipitation collects and drains off into a common outlet, such as into a river, bay, or other body of water.

Multiple Choice

What is a watershed area?

• where the river flows into the sea or sometimes a lake

• The boundary dividing one watershed area from another separated by high land

• The upland area where a river begins

Multiple Choice

What is the mouth?

• where the river flows into the sea or sometimes a lake

• A river which joins a larger river

• The point at which two rivers join

Multiple Choice

What is a tributary

• The point at which two rivers join

• A river which joins a larger river

• The upland area where the river begins

Multiple Choice

What is a confluence

• A river which joins a larger river

• The source of the river

• The point at which two rivers join
