Landforms

A cartographer is a mapmaker.

• Yes.
• No, a surveyor makes maps
• No, a geologist makes maps
• No, a mapateer makes maps

Erosion:

• is the process of wearing away earth materials through wind, water or ice
• is the process of laying down earth materials away from a landform
• must have a delta
• cannot happen over time, it must happen quickly

If I wanted to show a smaller, 3-D version of a mountain, I would use a:

• model
• map
• movie
• minion

Contour lines are found on a topographic map.

• Yes
• No

I can measure the elevation of a mountain in:

• meters or feet
• meters or kilowatts
• inches or grams
• meters or pounds

During a flood, the dirt/sand/clay/rocks in a stream will move FURTHER than during non-flood times

• Yes because there is more force behind the water
• No. Floods are much calmer than non-floods

The water level of a stream during a flood:

• is higher than normal
• is lower than normal
• doesn't change

If I want to slow the water in the stream table, I should put a wedge under the end the cup is sitting on.

• True! Wedges for the win!
• False! A wedge causes the water to flow quicker towards the drain hole

A stream table that has the wedge under it will have a delta that is LARGER or SMALLER than a non-wedged table

• Larger since the wedge causes the water to move quicker, the earth material moves further
• Smaller since the wedge causes the water to flow faster, the earth material can't move very far
• The wedge shouldn't have an impact on the delta
• Huh?

Deposition is when earth material is laid down after erosion

• Correct!
• No. Deposition has nothing to do with erosion!
