1What is a continental glacier?
- AGlaciers that are formed in a mountain range
- BHuge mass of ice and snow, creating a glacier
- CA large body of saltwater
- DA large body of freshwater
2What is a valley glacier?
- AA large body of saltwater
- BResulting from large calving off a continental glacier
- CGlaciers that are formed in a mountain range
- DHuge mass of ice and snow, creating a glacier
3Things left by a valley glacier:
- Valley glaciers erode bowl-shaped basins called [blank_start]cirques[blank_end].
- If two or more glaciers erode the top of a mountain at different directions, a ridge called an [blank_start]arete[blank_end] or a peak called a [blank_start]horn[blank_end] can form.
- Valleys eroded by glaciers will be [blank_start]U[blank_end]-shaped.- Acirques
- Barete
- Chorn
- DU
4Fill in the blanks to the Water Cycle:
Water from the earth's surface and waters [blank_start]evaporate[blank_end] and rise into the atmosphere in the form of [blank_start]water vapor[blank_end]. It then [blank_start]condenses[blank_end] back into liquid and falls in the form of [blank_start]precipitation[blank_end].- Aevaporate
- Bwater vapor
- Ccondenses
- Dprecipitation
5Name the FIVE main sources of water on planet earth.
- AGlaciers, plants
- BIce, glaciers
- CPrecipitation
- DGroundwater, surface water
- EOceans, aquifer
- FOceans, seas
- GRivers, streams
- HMountains
- ILakes, ponds
6What is streamflow?
- AResulting from large calving off a continental glacier
- BA large body of saltwater
- CUpstream area of a watershed where the water originates
- DAmount of water discharged from a watershed
7What is deposition?
- AAmount of water discharged from a watershed
- BA large body of saltwater
- CWhen sediments in a river settle to the bottom
- DA large body of freshwater
8Why is having too much sediment in a river unhealthy?
- AIt can cause more floods
- BSediment can transport pollutants
- CIt can slow the river's speed
- DA and C only
9How much salt content is in every 1000g of water?
- A35
- B43
- C78
- D16
10Things to know about the ocean and tectonic plates:
- The [blank_start]salinity[blank_end] is the amount of salt content in the water.
- A large dropoff in the middle of the ocean is called a [blank_start]continental slope[blank_end] because that is where the tectonic plate ends.
- A flat, shallow part of the ocean that is still a part of the continent. It is called a [blank_start]continental shelf[blank_end].
- Ocean [blank_start]ridges[blank_end] occur when two tectonic plates compress. It is common for magma to erupt from it.
- [blank_start]Trenches[blank_end] occur when two tectonic plates overlap. This can create mountains.- Asalinity
- Bcontinental slope
- Ccontinental shelf
- Dridges
- ETrenches
11The ocean's salt comes from rivers picking it up from the ground and collecting it.
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
12Ocean ridges can be up to 2000km wide
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
