- Q1A glacial moraine is best described asan elongated hill composed of sand and formed by a retreating glacierunsorted sediment directly deposited by a glaciersorted sediment deposited as the glacier meltsa body of water formed by a retreating glacier45s
- Q2The streambank on the outside of this meander is steeper than the streambank on the inside of this meander because the water on the outside of this meander is movingfaster, causing more depositionslower, causing more erosionfaster, causing more erosionslower, causing more deposition45s
- Q3The land area drained by the Oswego River and its tributaries is called awater tabledeltawatershedfloodplain45s
- Q4New York State’s Finger Lakes exist today becausea rise in sea level occurred, flooding the regionV-shaped valleys are being eroded by streamsa drop in sea level occurred, leaving the lakesU-shaped valleys were dammed by glacial sediments45s
- Q5At which location would deposition of sediments most likely be greater than erosion?DACB45s
- Q6The aerial photograph below shows an elongated hill near the Finger Lakes formed by glacial deposition in New York State. This elongated hill is best identified as amorainesand dunekettledrumlin45s
- Q7The photograph below shows a valley glacier altering the landscape. The result of this glacial action will be aV-shaped valley with well-sorted, rounded sedimentV-shaped valley with scratched and grooved bedrockU-shaped valley with scratched and grooved bedrockU-shaped valley with well-sorted, rounded sediment45s
- Q8These parallel scratches were most likely caused bymovement of glacial iceocean wavessandblasting by windrunning water45s
- Q9What is the largest particle size that a stream can transport at a velocity of 5 centimetres per second?SiltCobbleSandPebble45s
- Q10At which two locations would the stream most likely be the deepest?A and BB and CC and DD and A45s
- Q11The streambank at location B is steeper than the streambank at location A because the water near location B is movingfaster than the water near location A, causing more erosionfaster than the water near location A, causing more depositionslower than the water near location A, causing more erosionslower than the water near location A, causing more deposition45s
- Q12The area labeled letter X represents a portion of afinger lakesand dunefloodplaindelta45s
- Q13Most of the particles deposited where the stream velocity decreases from 50 centimetres per second to 5 centimetres per second aresmall sand and large siltsmall pebbles and large sandsmall silt and large claysmall cobbles and large pebbles45s
- Q14The minimum stream velocity necessary to transport a sediment particle that is 0.1 centimetre in diameter is closest to5.5 cm/s0.002 cm/s10.0 cm/s0.1 cm/s45s
- Q15Which term correctly identifies depositional feature A?deltasand barbarrier islandisland arc45s
