When a rock's composition is altered and broken down by acids in the environment

The process by which products of erosion are laid down

The process by which Earth materials are carried away and are deposited by wind, water, gravity, or ice

Water located underground in the zone of saturation

A landscape that develops from the action of groundwater in areas of easily soluble rocks characterized by caves, underground drainage, and sinkholes

The rate at which a fluid can move through a material

Natural processes that takes big rocks and turn them into small rocks or sediments (rain, wind ice-wedging etc.)

Particles of rock or organic materials that have been carried along and deposited by water, wind, or glaciers; small pieces of rock, shell, and other material that are broken down by the processes of weathering

Funnel-shaped depressions that result from the dissolution of limestone along cracks

All of the land or area that drains into a specific river system

The upper surface of a zone of saturation

Breaking down of rocks and other material at the Earth’s surface

The underground region where the pores are filled mostly with air

The underground region where all of the pores are filled with water

The photograph shows an eroded plateau found in the southwestern United States. The landscape was developed by the processes of–

Which of the following Virginia provinces has the most karst topography?

The map shows the area surrounding a meandering stream. At which point is erosion greatest?

The cross section below shows sedimentary rocks being eroded by water at a waterfall. The sedimentary rock layers are being weathered and eroded at different rates primarily because the rock layers-

The diagram shows a glacial landscape. Which evidence suggests that ice created this landscape?

The diagram below shows granite bedrock with cracks. Water has seeped into the cracks and frozen. The arrows represent the directions in which the cracks have widened due to weathering. Which statement best describes the physical weathering shown by the diagram?

Which stream-drainage pattern most likely developed on the surface of a newly formed volcanic mountain?

This huge hole is in Florida. It occurred when the surface suddenly collapsed because the land beneath it was being secretly eroded by groundwater. What do we call this?
