1.
1 point
A __________ pattern forms in very steep terrain where streams do not have the opportunity to migrate sideways.
2.
1 point
The material carried along by the stream itself rolls and bounces along the surface loosening rock by __________.
3.
1 point
__________ magmas produce high volume, slow moving, effusive eruptions.
4.
1 point
In general, increases in temperature and rainfall will increase the rate of chemical weathering.
5.
1 point
Eventually, as the meander becomes larger and more exaggerated, it will be cut off by the formation of a new, shorter section of channel, stranding a small body of water called a/an __________.
6.
1 point
Toward the lower reaches of the river, the gradient is less steep and streams form __________ channels that wander back and forth
7.
1 point
Fracturing and faulting of the landscape, which forces streams into right angle turns, causes the __________ pattern.
8.
1 point
Occasionally, material loosened by weathering or other processes slips downward by gravity alone as a/an __________.
9.
1 point
In the upper reaches of the streams, rapid erosion carves __________-shaped valleys.
10.
1 point
Together these forces of erosion and deposition smooth out the roughest terrain and flatten the Earth's solid surface.
11.
1 point
In carbonation, carbonic acid, a component of rainwater completely dissolves away the __________ at places where water seeps into the ground from above and near underground rivers. This process produces the world's most spectacular caverns and some interesting surface relief as well, such as sinkholes, which form when the roof of caverns collapses.
12.
1 point
All of the loosened material by hydraulic actions, called __________, is then transported downstream.
13.
1 point
Explosive eruptions often result from __________ magmas.
14.
1 point
Perhaps nowhere has levee building reached such a high art as __________'s attempts to control the Huang He (Yellow River).
15.
1 point
Because the viscosity is low, mafic magmas tend to produce volcanic cones with gentle slopes, called __________.
16.
1 point
Haleakala is a/an __________ volcano.
17.
1 point
__________ are breaks in the stream gradient where either waterfalls or steep rapids form.
18.
1 point
Mafic magmas are hotter and contain higher density materials, such as iron and magnesium than felsic magmas.
19.
1 point
Sediment laid down by flooding rivers often produces very fertile soil, some of the most productive on Earth in fact.
20.
1 point
__________, the world's largest mountain, last erupted in 1984, sending lava to within four miles of Hilo town.
21.
1 point
In chemical weathering, water solutions may attack a rock and dissolve only part of the matrix, leaving behind a crumbly, corroded surface in a process called __________.
22.
1 point
The most common pattern is random branching called a __________ drainage pattern.
23.
1 point
As the valley heads join, a narrow ridge forms between them leaving a triangular wedge of the original shield volcano surface called a __________.
24.
1 point
The ridge of the Ko'olau mountains, on O'ahu, provides a very clear example of a __________ that separates the drainage basins of streams flowing to the windward and leeward sides.
25.
1 point
When sediment-laden rivers empty into oceans or lakes at their mouth, the sediment may form a deposit called a __________.
26.
1 point
In the highest mountains in Hawai'i, the freeze/thaw cycle is virtually a daily occurrence and thus frost wedging is quite active. Repeated cycles create a curious sorting of rock fragments into rows called __________.
27.
1 point
All of the physical breakdown processes break off small pieces of rocks, which may accumulate at the base of outcrops forming __________.
28.
1 point
Endogenic processes build rough mountains and exogenic processes melt them away, bit by tiny bit.
29.
1 point
The underwater eruptions produce long linear, basaltic mountain ranges and large areas covered with lava called __________.
30.
1 point
Mt. Fuji is an example of a __________.
31.
1 point
__________ refers to breaking loose and removing solid material from the surface.
32.
1 point
The vast majority of earthquakes in Hawai‘i occur on the Big Island.
33.
1 point
__________ form when meandering rivers excavate broad flat-bottomed valleys.
34.
1 point
Palolo Valley on O'ahu is an example of __________ valleys.
35.
1 point
On a larger scale, if an extremely heavy weight (like an ice sheet) is removed from a rocky region, the entire mass will expand upwards as pressure is relieved forming a/an __________, in which the surface rock breaks off in sheets.
36.
1 point
The fastest erosion occurs near the stream head, where the gradient is steep.
37.
1 point
Each stream derives its water from a unique __________.
38.
1 point
The first step in breaking down mountains is __________, which refers to the physical and chemical dissolution of solid rock.
39.
1 point
Chemical reactions in the water dissolve material and further erode the bedrock.
40.
1 point
Hawai'i has had numerous Great Earthquake in documented history.
