The Water Cycle Rules

Front 1

TRANSPORT

Back 1

THE MOVMENT OF EROSION MATRAIL BY THE RIVER.

Front 2

Floatation

Back 2

MATERIAL MAY FLOAT IN A RIVER.

Front 3

​SALTATION

Back 3

when material is bounced along the river bed.

Front 4

Dragged

{TRACTION}

Back 4

MATERAIL MAY BE DRAGGED ACROSS THE RIVER BED.

Front 5

SUSPENSION

Back 5

WHEN MATERIAL IS HELD UP BY WATER.

Front 6

DEPOSITION

Back 6

WHEN THE RIVER DROPS MATERIAL IT HAS CARRIED

Front 7

DISSOLVED

Back 7

WHEN MATERIAL ARE NO LONGER VISABLE IN THE WATER

Front 8

EROSION

Back 8

IS A MATERIAL WEARING AWAY ROCKS

Front 9

River

Back 9

a natural stream of water of fairly large size flowing in a definitecourse or channel or series of diverging and converging channels.

2.a similar stream of something other than water:

a river of lava; a river of ice.

Front 10

Drainage basin

Back 10

Is an extent or an area of land where surface water from rain and melting snow or ice converges to a single point at a lower elevation, usually the exit of the basin, where the waters join another waterbody, such as a river, lake, reservoir, estuary, wetland, sea, or ocean.

Front 11

Resistant Rock

Back 11

A hard rock which resists being worn down and stands out as hills

Front 12

Non-Resistant Rock

Back 12

IS A HARD ROCK THAT HAS COME LOOSE

Front 13

Hydraulic Action

Back 13

Is erosion that occurs when the motion of water against a rock surface produces mechanical weathering. Most generally, it is the ability of moving water (flowing or waves) to dislodge and transport rock particles.

Front 14

Abrasion

Back 14

The process of scraping or wearing something away.

Front 15

Plunge Pool

Back 15

A deep basin excavated at the foot of a waterfall by the action of the falling water.

Front 16

Undercut

Back 16

1. To cut away the under part of (something)

Front 17

Collapse

Back 17

when something brakes and the falls.

Front 18

Ledge Waterfall

Back 18

Water descends vertically over a vertical cliff, maintaining partial contact with the bedrock.

Front 19

Block/Sheet

Back 19

Water descends from a relatively wide stream or river.

Front 20

Classical

Back 20

Ledge waterfalls where fall height is nearly equal to stream width, forming a vertical square shape.

Front 21

Curtain

Back 21

Ledge waterfalls which descend over a height larger than the width of falling water stream.

Front 22

Plunge

Back 22

Fast moving water descends vertically, losing complete contact with the bedrock surface. The contact is typically lost due to horizontal thrust of the water before it falls. It always starts from a narrow stream.

Front 23

Punchbowl

Back 23

Water descends in a constricted form and then spreads out in a wider pool
