Document Summary
Hydrologic is related to sediment cascade (we explore short term small scale cascades and land formations) You can characterize a landscape describe what has made the landscape work and change over time. Hill slope generic term which refers to any part of land surface (bottom of slope where a river channel is to the top where the highest elevation is) Interfluve (the region of higher land between two rivers that are in the same drainage system) Glaciated landscapes don"t work in regular ways, they have their own landform creations and landscapes are formed much differently. Hill slope consideration materials (what is made of (bed rock/sedimentary/soil/rock debris etc), what"s on the surface) and geometry (height, angle, shape) Hill slopes can be steep it is usually more steep (near vertical) at the top and more shallow near the bottom. Slopes are sediment production systems that feed the river. How river moves dependant on landscape, water available and sediment supply rate.
