VOCAB REVIEW
Across
- 7. maximum particle size
- 10. pattern: commonly encountered drainage pattern
- 12. load: streams carry dissolved substances
- 14. velocity: frictional force combined with the buoyant force exactly balance the gravitational force
- 16. slow flow
- 17. leaping movement of sand
- 19. separate from the drainage basin of another by a imaginary line
- 24. flat area about level with top of the channel
- 25. fast flow
- 26. tangled networks
- 29. basin: land area that contributes water to a river system
Down
- 1. when streams diverge from a central area likes pokes from the hub of a wheel
- 2. place where the ground slopes up/down
- 3. load: fine particles suspended in water
- 4. level: most streams is global sea level
- 5. loop-like bend in a stream channel
- 6. quantity of water passing by a point on the steamboat
- 8. absorbed by plants, which the release it into the atmosphere
- 9. maximum load
- 11. bank:river cliff
- 13. cycle: unending circulation of H2O
- 15. the rate of rainfall exceeds earth's ability to absorb
- 18. pattern: a rectangular pattern in which tributary streams are nearly parallel to one another
- 20. process by which liquid water changer into water vapour
- 21. gen. term for sediment deposited by streams
- 22. and corner frequency
- 23. pattern: exhibits many right angle bends
- 27. bars:arcuate deposit of sand along the in inside of bend
- 28. load: course particles move along streambed
