Gradation Test Review

 Geography 12: gradation test

The test will have a couple of diagrams, a short answer section, a paragraph section, a true/false section and a case study that you will apply the geographic thinking concepts to.  With regard to glaciation and river systems the test will focus on these in a more general fashion with regard to gradation and be more in depth with the forces of gradation that you have not been tested on.

General vocab:  

gradation, load, deposition, erosion, transport, base level

Weathering:

Mechanical Weathering   physical weathering  chemical  weathering      frost shattering Sedimentation    pingo   differential weathering thermal expansion  oxidization  hydrolysis  exfoliation  sheeting

		Mass Wasting
		Mass wasting Solifluction Angle of repose Soil creep Slope failure

Helpful hints and questions:

Be able to differentiate between erosional and depositional features for all processes of gradation that we have discussed:  glaciation, mass wasting, river systems, karst, coastal landscapes, aeolian landscapes, weathering.

Be ready to label diagrams of either coastal, karst or aeolian landscapes.There will be a case study to ready and apply the Geographic thinking concepts (know these concepts:  

• Geographic Significance 
• Evidence and Interpretation 
• Patterns and Change/Trends 
• Interactions and Associations
• Cause & Consequence
• Sense of Place /Geographic Perspective
• Geographic Value Judgements 

Coastal Landscape Questions to consider:

Explain how longshore drift works. What role does it play in shaping coastal landscapes? How do waves impact/shape coastal landscapes?

Aeolian Landscape questions to consider:

What are aeolian processes, and how do they differ from other geomorphological processes? Describe how sand dunes are formed. What factors influence their shape and size? Identify and describe the different types of sand dunes and what conditions lead to the formation of each type? Explain how wind contributes to both erosion and deposition in aeolian environments. Provide examples of landforms created by each process. How does vegetation influence aeolian processes?

Karst Topography questions to consider:

Define karst topography and explain how it forms. Describe the types of bedrock most commonly associated with karst landscapes. Why are these rocks particularly vulnerable to karst processes? Explain the role of chemical weathering, specifically dissolution, in the development of karst features.

Weathering Questions to consider:

Define weathering and explain how it differs from erosion. List and describe the three main types of weathering: physical (mechanical), chemical Explain how freeze-thaw weathering occurs and describe one example of where this might be common. Describe oxidation as a form of chemical weathering. Provide an example of how oxidation can change the appearance of rocks. How does climate affect the rate and type of weathering in an area?

Mass Wasting Questions to consider:

Define mass wasting and explain how it differs from other types of erosion. Describe the role of gravity in mass wasting. What is the angle of repose, and how does it affect the stability of a slope? How does slope angle influence the likelihood of mass wasting? Explain how water content affects the stability of slopes. Describe how vegetation can stabilize slopes and prevent mass wasting. How can human activities, such as deforestation, construction, and mining, increase the risk of mass wasting? Describe several methods used to prevent or reduce the impact of mass wasting, such as retaining walls, drainage systems, and slope grading. Discuss the potential long-term impacts of mass wasting on a river system located downstream from a landslide-prone area.

Geography 12, Oct. 29

 Today we spent the first half working on our field reports.  These are due on Monday Nov. 3rd

In the second half we reviewed Karst Topography, the exciting world of caving.  There was a homework check on the questions assigned last week.  We completed some notes and a diagram labeling sheet plus watched this video on Karst Topography:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMgattdqc_I

From here we started talking about Aeolian landscapes.  Took some notes and completed a worksheet.  The worksheets are for homework if not completed in class.

Please note there will be a test on gradation on Wed. Nov 5th

Cartoon Analysis Socials 10 Oct. 29

 Today we went over and corrected our tests (please submit test corrections).  We then talked about the notwithstanding clause and current events plus did some review vocabulary.  We watched the following three videos on the clause and how it has been applied in Canada recently.

Not withstanding claus:

Social Studies 10: Answers to Friday 5, Oct. 17

 1.  Define patriate/patriation:

-"to bring home" - Pierre Trudeau patriated the constitution in 1982, because he wanted Canada to control this document not Britain

2.  What is a constitution and what was the name of the original one for Canada?

-a constitution is a set of rules that the leader of a country/monarch must follow that are set out by the people.

-British North America Act

3.  Define alienation and state how this can increase regionalism.

-alienation is when someone or in this case a province is left out or isolated

-this can increase regionalism because of inequalities in economies (economic disparities) or when an area feels isolated politically or when groups with distinct languages, traditions, or identities may feel alienated if national policies promote a dominant culture regionalism may emerge to protect and promote the region’s unique identity.

4.  What is confederation and who were the original 4?

-confederation is the political union of the provinces in 1867 and after to form Canada.  The original 4 were Quebec (Canada East), Ontario (Canada West), Nova Scotia and New Brunswick

5.  Define transfer payments:

-payments made between provinces via the Federal government to reduce economic disparity

Geography 12: answers to Friday 5, Oct. 17

 This week we had a Friday 4!

1.  What are the two types of weathering?

-mechanical/physical & chemical

2.  What are two things that influence weathering?

-temperature and water/precipitation

3.  Differentiate between the two types of weathering?

-physical/mechanical weathering changes the shape of the material where as chemical weathering changes the composition of the material

4.  Provide two examples of one of the types of weathering?

physical/mechanical:  frost shattering & frost heaving in the roads or up in the pass splitting rocks or trees root systems splitting rocks, or abrasion creating things like hoodoos around Kamloops
