Lab 7: Coastal Hazards and Processes
➢ What are water particle paths?
o What happens to particle paths as depth increases/decreases and what occurs?
➢ The relationship between wavelength, wave height, and wave period.
➢ The relationship between longshore current and longshore drift.
o How do you determine longshore current direction?
➢ What is the effect of a rip current on the shoreline? Is it dangerous?
➢ What are tides? What are the two tide phases? What causes the cycle of tides?
o Know what is happening to the water when the tide cycles between the two phases.
➢ How to accurately describe wave refraction. Where, in the model, would you get high energy
and low energy (watch video in PowerPoint)?
➢ Name/describe the different high energy and low energy coastal landforms.
o Erosional landforms are ___ energy, depositional landforms are ___ energy.
➢ What are the three types of coral reefs? How are they different?
➢ What is a groin? What are jetties? What’s the difference? How are they similar?
➢ What is a Tsunami? A Hurricane?
Lab 8: Karst, Hydrothermal Processes, and Arid Landforms
➢ What type of rocks does karst generally form in? What are the names of two rocks in that
group?
o How does karst form (remember the hand sample experiment we showed in lab)?
o The 4 variables that affect karst formation and how they affect it.
➢ What is a disappearing stream? Why does it disappear? Where does it go?
o What feature, below the surface could form from a disappearing stream?
➢ Know the difference between karst landforms, cave geomorphology, hydrothermal features,
and arid landscapes.
o What formations are a part of each?
o Which has more rain, a karst landform or an arid landform?
➢ How does a sinkhole form (at least 3 ways)?
➢ What’s the differee etwee stalactites and stalagmites?
o What forms if these connect?
➢ How are hot springs, geyser, fumaroles, boiling mud pots, and travertines different?
➢ Under which states have the highest geothermal resources?
o What are the pros and cons of geothermal energy?
➢ What are the different types of dunes (at least 4)?
o Two are crescent shaped, what is the difference between them?
o Two are elongated, what is the difference between them?
o What is a star dune?
➢ What are the 3 desert types?
➢ What is desertification?
o List 2 causes for the problem and a solution to fix the problem.
