Instructions for Side by Side Printing
  1. Print the notecards
  2. Fold each page in half along the solid vertical line
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal dotted line
  4. Optional: Glue, tape or staple the ends of each notecard together
  1. Verify Front of pages is selected for Viewing and print the front of the notecards
  2. Select Back of pages for Viewing and print the back of the notecards
    NOTE: Since the back of the pages are printed in reverse order (last page is printed first), keep the pages in the same order as they were after Step 1. Also, be sure to feed the pages in the same direction as you did in Step 1.
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal and vertical dotted line

back 7

B,D

front 8

Which of the following statements about deposition and erosion around meander loops is true?

back 8

- Erosion occurs where water is moving the fastest along the outside of the loop.
- Deposition occurs where water is moving the slowest along the inside of the loop.

front 15

Direction and location of streamflow controlled primarily by geology

back 15

- Solid bedrock that is fractured in some areas
- Areas of hard rocks interspread with areas of softer rock

front 16

Direction and location of streamflow controlled primarily by slope

back 16

- Peaks surrounded by valleys
- Layers of sedimentary, similar rock
- Solid igneous bedrock of uniform composition and slope

front 17

What causes meandering streams to downcut and become incised meanders?

back 17

uplift of the land the stream is flowing on

front 18

Which of the following is likely to occur to an incised meander after it reaches equilibrium with its new base level?

back 18

The incised meander will cause only minor erosion of the canyon walls.

front 19

Which of the following statements accurately describe the erosional processes of meanders that are incising and meanders that are in equilibrium?

back 19

- Meanders in equilibrium erode primarily in a side-to-side manner.
- Incising meanders erode primarily by downcutting.

front 20

Using the example below, determine how flow will change as a result of stream piracy. The arrows indicate the original flow directions and the dotted line indicate where headward erosion has occurred.

back 20

Water would now flow from point A to point C.
