What is chemical Weathering? • 1) Oxidation • 2) Hydrolysis • 3) Solution
What is a Youthful River? Waterfalls and rapids are commonplace.
What is a Fiord? A glaciated valley that has been drowned by sea water.
What is exfoliation? “The splitting and disintegration of the outer layers of rock, probably resulting from pressure release caused by erosion of overlying material”
What is an old river? Are associated with swampy areas and poor drainage!
What is a terminal moraine? • Hills and lumps of debris at the end of a glacier. • Marks a glacier’s last stationary point.
What is a Drumlin? • The blunt end faced the ice/glacier. • The shallow end marks the direction • of glacier movement.
What is frost fracture? Water enters a crack in a rock, then freezes, causing it to break.
What is solution? The process where a fluid, usually water or carbonic acid, picks up and dissolves particles of a solid.
What is Vertical Erosion? Hydraulic Pressure, Solution, and Abrasion are all forms of this.
What is a Continental Glacier? • Large ice sheets covering major portions of land areas. • Cover large portions of Greenland and Antarctica
What are the five basic steps / methods that earth scientists use to gather evidence/data about the Earth? (Scientific Method) • Observation • Formation of a hypothesis • Testing of hypotheses and the formation of a theory • Formation of a law • Continual re-examination
