1. Mass wasting causes material to move downhill, the energy that is exerted is determined by.....give two examples.
- Steepness of slope
- Shape and size of particles
- Nature of material that forms slope
- Depth of the material
- Nature of ground cover
- Stability of the ground
- Water content of the soil
2. Karst topography refers to....
-Karst topography is landscapes that form underground where the rock is porous; this occurs due to the dissolution of soluble rocks primarily limestone but also dolomite and gypsum
3. Provide two examples of erosional and two examples of depositional aeolian landscapes.
4. What are the two characteristics that allow Aeolian landscapes to form?
1. reduced moisture content b/c dry soil doesn’t stick together so more susceptible to wind
2. Lack of ground cover/surface vegetation means soil not protected by root systems so wind erosion is greater
5. List as many Geographic Thinking concepts as you can and explain one.
- Geographic significance
- Use Primary Evidence
- Identify Patterns and Change,
- Analyze Cause and Consequence
- Understand Interactions and Associations
- Take Geographic Perspectives/sense of place
- Consider Ethical dimensions/Geographic value judgements
Bonus: List 3 Karst features
- stalagmites
- stalactites
- rock curtain
- pillar
- sink hole/doline
- caves
- disappearing streams
- grykes
