GEOG 2051 : GEOG 2051 Test 2 Studyguide
Document Summary
Text material: chps 13, 9 (hydrologic cycle & groundwater sections), 14, 15, & 16 (only part i). Weathering: breakdown of earth"s material into smaller components. We have the same amount pushing out, so we don"t notice. When we change altitudes, the pressure no longer balance out. Karst landforms: predominant earth material is limestone, karst comes from the region in. Yugoslavia where it was studied: carbonation, dissolving of carbon dioxide in water, important with limestone and marble. More intense form- when water falls to atmosphere gases are in rain drops: limestone, calcium carbonate evaporation of sea water and carbination, tower karst, large knobs and peaks of limestone, everything eroded around it, limestone and its remnants. Slope- a curve or incline that represents the boundary of a land form: steepness- how quickly elevation increases, tangent- rise/run, inputs in slope system comes from weathering. System (inputs (weathering), outputs (transport) equilibrium, angle of repose; Slope elements: waxing slope, first part that increases.
