Traction, hydraulic action, solution

What is a long profile?

A line representing the river from its source to its mouth.

A line from one river bank to another

An area of land drained by a river and its tributaries.

Identify the characteristics of the middle course of a river.

Medium gradient, gently sloping valley sides with a wider, deeper channel.

Gentle gradient, very wide, almost flat valley, very wide and deep river channel.

Steep gradient, v-shaped valley, steep sides and narrow, shallow channel.

Natural levees are....

A raised bank either side of the river due to deposition

Man-made structures to prevent flooding

A raised bank on the edge of a flood plain

Unlevel ground on a flood plain

What is the land next to the river called and how would you describe it?

Floodplain, flat land next to the river.

Floodplain, steep land next to the river.

Floodplain, flat land away from the river.

Floodplain, flat land on top of the river.

Reorder the following to create a waterfall

The soft rock is eroded quicker than the hard rock and this creates a step

As erosion continues, the hard rock is undercut forming an overhang.

Abrasion and hydraulic action erode to create a plunge pool.

Over time this gets bigger, increasing the size of the overhang until the hard rock is no longer supported and it collapses.

This process continues and the waterfall retreats upstream, forming a gorge

Reorder the following to form a meander

The development of meanders is due to both deposition and erosion.

On the inside bend, water is slower and deposits sediment

On the outside of the bend, energy is higher, this causes erosion, forming a river cliff

Over time, the meanders change shape, moving across the floodplain

the distance of a location north and south from the equator

the distance of the location from the prime meridian

the distance of a location from the sun

the distance of a location from the moon

Identify the factor that influence the temperature of these two areas

Distance from Large Bodies of Water

Which BEST describes why latitudes closest to the equator have warmer climates?

they are nearer to ocean currents

they get more winds that carry energy in the form of heat

Which of the following is true about latitude?

Places located at high latitude receives less sunlight than places at low latitude.

Places located at high latitude receives greater sunlight than places at low latitude.

Places located at low latitude receives less sunlight than places at high latitude.

Places in each latitude receives equal amount of sunlight

When the sun's rays travel a longer distance

When the angle of incidence is small

When the angle of incidence is large

Which type of country will probably be the worst affected by extreme weather events?

Less developed countries because they are usually less well off and less able to deal with the impacts

Middle income countries because they have some expensive infrastructure and are well served by grants and international aid

Well developed countries because they have expensive infrastructure to replace.

The study of rocks and the Earth's physical structure.

The study of earthquakes and volcanic activity.

The study of fossils and ancient life forms.

The study of the Earth's physical features, climate, and human activities and their interrelationships.

What is a major effect of plate tectonics?

The creation of mountains and earthquakes

What mechanism is primarily responsible for the movement of tectonic plates?

Gravitational pull from the Moon

Centrifugal force of the Earth's rotation

Which of the following is a role of plate tectonics in Earth's history?

Changing the composition of the atmosphere

Influencing the evolution of life

Causing the Moon to orbit the Earth

What happens at a subduction zone?

One plate moves under another plate

Two plates move sideways past each other

Two plates move away from each other

Two plates collide and rise together

What evidence supports the theory of continental drift, which is part of plate tectonics?

Similar rock formations on different continents

The existence of the International Date Line
