What agent created this V-Shaped Valley?

This illustration shows a diagram of a river and the landforms it has shaped over time. This river has slowly eroded and deposited rock and sediment to form the landforms you see labeled below. Check all landforms that were formed by erosion

The picture below represents a large stream meander. The arrows show the direction of streamflow. Stream velocity was measured at surface locations A, B, and C. List the stream velocities in order from fastest to slowest in locations A, B, and C

The picture shows a meandering stream. Select two that apply for Area A.

The picture shows a meandering stream. Select two that apply for Area C

Which picture shows deposition?

The diagram shows a part of meandering stream. Lines A-A, B-B, and C-C show the locations of a stream cross section. Which cross section best represents the shape of the stream channel at line A-A?

The diagram shows a part of meandering stream. Lines A-A, B-B, and C-C show the locations of a stream cross section. Which cross section best represents the shape of the stream channel at line B-B?

The picture below depicts a stream flowing straight. At which location would the most erosion occur?

Two rocks of similar size and shape are shown. One is granite, while the other is sandstone. Check two that are true

The map shows part of the midwestern United States. The lines represent the borders of glaciers from the most recent ice ages. What areas will have the least amount of glacial till, based on this information?

The alluvial fan shown in the following illustration formed as sediment began to drop out from a stream that could no longer carry all of its sediment. Which statement best explains why the stream could no longer carry all of its sediment?

Emily used a tray filled with dirt as a model of a stream. Emily poured water into the top of the tray and observed how much erosion happened. Emily then increased the slope of the tray and repeated the experiment. What happens when the slope of the tray increased?

Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah is famous for having many formations called hoodoos. Hoodoos are tall structures made of sedimentary rock. The Hoodoo Formation diagram shows the processes that create these unique rock structures. Select two main geological processes that create hoodoos.

A river gradient plot shows how quickly the elevation of a river falls along its course.  The slope of the line is the river’s gradient.  The line has a steep slope at points along the river where the gradient is steep.  The line has a nearly level slope where the river gradient is not steep.  

At which location would you predict there to be the lowest streambed erosion?

A student creates a model of the mechanical weathering of rocks in a stream by shaking sugar cubes in a cup. The variable she changes is the amount of force she uses to shake the cubes. Based on her results, which picture would be a model of the weathering rocks experience in a stream with a high slope?

The picture below shows the differences in size of different kinds of sediment. Which sediment will require the most force by water or wind to erode?

A student tests which causes more weathering--plain water or vinegar (an acid) over a stream table filled with gravel. Which would you expect to cause less weathering?

Valleys can be made by rivers or glaciers. Mrs. Hohenstein believes her newly discovered valley is made by a glacier. What features would lead her to believe this?

The rock formation below is an example of differential erosion, which occurs when the amount erosion differs, even though the rock formation experiences the same conditions. Which label shows the part of the rock that is less resistant to weathering and erosion?

The picture shows an alluvial fan. Alluvial fans form when water in a stream goes from a high slope to a nearly level slope Which graph supports the formation of a alluvial fan by comparing the velocity/speed of the water on the high slope vs the low slope?

A stream flows from a higher elevation to a lower elevation and ends in a lake. At which location would you expect the least amount of deposition?

Engineers change a stream from meandering to straight to reduce flooding. Which stream would you predict to better accommodate boat travel?

Engineers change a stream from meandering to straight to reduce flooding. Which stream travels more distance?

Engineers change a stream from meandering to straight to reduce flooding. Which stream will take less time to go down the hill?

Which ground cover is most effective at preventing mass movement?

The picture below depicts a coastline. Identify features D, E, and F

The graph below shows the amount of erosion and deposition on a beach from 2002-2010. In 2008 was there more erosion or deposition taking place?

Which two locations would have the most risk for building a house?

Which scenario will the stick figure experience the most pain from sand abrasion?

The cross section below shows the movement of wind-driven sand particles that strike a partly exposed basalt cobble located at the surface of a windy desert. Which cross section best represents the appearance of this cobble after many years of exposure to the wind-driven sand?

Check all that are effective methods of preventing mass movement and erosion

Check all landforms that are made by deposition from glaciers.

Check all that would increase the rate of weathering

The diagram shows a landscape that includes several glacial moraines deposited during a single glacial event. The moraines are labeled.

Which moraine formed when the glacier reached its maximum advance?
