Which of the following is NOT one of Canada's drainage basins
Pacific drainage basin
the great divide
Atlantic drainage basin
Hudson Bay drainage basin
Arctic Ocean drainage basin
What does this picture show?

There are two types of drainage patterns : trellis and dendritic. What determines the type of drainage pattern?
the type of water flowing in the river
the height of land it runs over
the types of rock it runs over
the gravity that pulls on the water running through a river
Why is the pollution of one drainage basin a big deal?
because pollution causes fishes to die
because pollution can make the air unbreathable
because the pollution can spread to far off areas
because the government hates pollution
What are the factors that influence the formation of a dendritic drainage pattern?
wind direction, tectonic activity, groundwater level
slope, rock type, climate
elevation, vegetation, soil type
human activity, land use, precipitation
What are the similarities between a dendritic and trellis drainage pattern?
Both patterns have a rectangular drainage pattern.
Both patterns have a parallel drainage pattern.
Both patterns have a radial drainage pattern.
Both patterns have a branching network of streams.
How does a dendritic drainage pattern differ from a trellis drainage pattern?
A dendritic drainage pattern is characterized by a network of streams that resemble the branches of a tree, with a dominant main channel. A trellis drainage pattern consists of parallel main streams with longer tributaries joining them at acute angles.
A dendritic drainage pattern is characterized by a network of streams that resemble the branches of a tree, with no tributaries. A trellis drainage pattern consists of parallel main streams with shorter tributaries joining them at acute angles.
A dendritic drainage pattern is characterized by a network of streams that resemble the branches of a tree, with no dominant main channel. A trellis drainage pattern consists of parallel main streams with shorter tributaries joining them at right angles.

What is an area of flat land that is raised higher than the surrounding land with steep sides?
plain
canyon
valley
plateau
Find the correct definition of the underlined word, plain.
broad, flat land
an area of land drained by a given river and its tributaries
land that gets large amounts of rainfall all year
an area of flat or rolling land at high elevation
What is a volcano?
a mountain or hill created as liquid rock and ash erupt from inside the earth
land with steep sides that rises sharply (1,000 feet or more) from the surrounding land
a large land mass that rises above the ocean
an area of flat or rolling land at high elevation
What is an arid region with little or no vegetation and warm temperatures?
desert
mountain
volcano
tundra
Erosion moves weathered pieces of rocks, minerals or soil to a new location using natural things like ice, wind, water, and living organisms.
Glaciation
Deposition
Erosion
Mining
The process of eroded soil and rock being transported by wind, water, ice or gravity and deposited in their new location
Glaciation
Deposition
Land Reclamation
Weathering
The process of landforms becoming covered by glaciers or ice sheets. As glaciers move they change the land beneath them
Glaciation
Deposition
Land Reclamation
Weathering
Some mines are dug underground, while others dig out the resources, and are left open
Glaciation
Deposition
Mining
Weathering
Land reclamation creates new land in large bodies of water (oceans, rivers or lakes).
Land reclamation
Deposition
Mining
Weathering
These moving plates can collide and/or rub together which results in landform creation or changes
Land reclamation
Tectonic Forces
Mining
Weathering
The natural process that breaks down rocks, soil and minerals into smaller parts.

What is a landform?
Man made structures
Landforms are natural features located on the surface
of the earth.
Rivers and bays
small fuzzy critters
Valleys are...
-low spaces between two hills or mountains
-land that is surrounded on all sides by water
-large area of tall land with a mostly flat top
-a mountain that when erupts allows molten earth "lava" to flow out
-land areas where more water evaporates into the air than comes back through precipitation
Plateaus are..
-large area of tall land with a mostly flat top
-land that is surrounded on all sides by water
-large area of tall land with a mostly flat top
-large hill with step side
-land areas where more water evaporates into the air than comes back through precipitation
