WED and Topography Review

Weathering is the process of

• moving sediment from one place to another

• dropping or leaving sediment in a location

• breaking down rocks into sediment

Erosion ________________________.

• breaks down rock

• moves rocks

• deposits rock

• is caused by ice wedging

Compared to the stream velocity between point X and point Y, the stream velocity between point Y and point Z is most likely

• greater, since the slope of the land decreases

• greater, since the slope of the land increases

• less, since the slope of the land decreases

• less, since the slope of the land increases

The diagram below shows a section of a meander in a stream. The arrow shows the direction of stream flow. The stream bank on the outside of this meander is steeper than than the stream bank on the inside of this meander because the water on the outside of the meander is moving

• Slower, causing deposition
• Faster, causing deposition
• Slower, causing erosion
• Faster, causing erosion
