  2. The top point on a mountain is called what?

  3. What is a peak

  4. The bottom of a mountain is called what?

  5. What is the base

  6. The difference in elevation between contour lines is called the what?

  7. What is the contour interval

  8. A shows the side view of a mountain.

  9. What is a profile

  10. This type of map uses contour lines to show the shape and elevation of a mountain.

  11. What is a topographic map

  12. A V-shaped valley eroded by a river or stream is known as a what?

  13. What is a canyon

  14. The course or path the water takes in a stream or river is a ?

  15. What is a channel

  16. The eroded earth materials that have been deposited are called ?

  17. What are sediments

  18. The process that wears away earth materials by water, wind, or ice is called ?

  19. What is erosion

  20. A fan-shaped deposit of earth materials at a mouth of a stream is a ?

  21. What is a delta

  22. A very heavy flow of water is known as a ?

  23. What is a flood

  24. The slant of a stream channel or mountain is called the ?

  25. What is the slope

  26. The fan-shaped landform deposited at the end of a steep canyon where the slope becomes flatter is a/an ?

  27. What is an alluvial fan

  28. A wall across a river that holds back the water flowing through the river is a ?

  29. What is a dam

  30. An embankment along a stream that protects land from flooding is a ?

  31. What is a levee

  32. Rivers can create landforms called canyons and deltas.

  33. True

  34. Water flowing through channels with steep slopes does not cause erosion.

  35. False

  36. If a topographic map has many contour lines spaced close together, it tells you the slope of the land is steep

  37. True

  38. An intermittent stream has water flowing throughout the entire year.

  39. False

  40. A perrenial stream always has water flowing in it.

  41. True

  42. A low area in which sediments are often deposited is a ?

  43. What is basin

  44. A curve or loop in a channel is called a ?

  45. What is a meander

  46. This is the process by which eroded earth materials settle out in another place.

  47. What is deposition

  48. A system of rivers and streams that drains an area like the Colorado Plateau is a ?

  49. What is a drainage basin

  50. A large, nearly level area that has been lifted above the surrounding area is known as a ?
