Radial

The type of drainage basin that forms when water flows down multiple sides of a mountain

What are the stages of river

Youth, Mature, Old age, Rejuvenated

corrosion

What type of river eorsion is caused by acidic nature of water dissolving the bank and bed of the river?

how are sinkholes created

when ground water erodes pockets of softer rock close to the surface and or large amounts of groundwater are quickly displaced form an area

Backwash

the name given to the movement of water after a wave hits a beach and returns to the ocean

Longshore drift

occurs when the swash of a wave hits at an angle and the backwash returns straight back to the ocean

the difference between weathering and erosion

weathering is the breakdown of rocks whereas erosion is the breaking down and transport of rocks

In recent BC floods, which manmade feature built to minimize flooding could not withstand the amount of water it was holding back and eventually falled

Dikes

Groynes

human build to keep sand in place, preventing the deterioration of beaches

stalacite

sediment deposit grew from the ceiling of a cabe in a karst topographic landscape

The agents of erosion

water, ice, wind, and sand

Weathering caused by oxygen reacting with chemical in rocks

Oxidation

soil creep

The type of mass wasting of slow gradual movement of soil down a slope

The type of weathering when rocks are eroded when exposed to surface

exfoliation
