Geography - rivers

What type of rock does not allow water to pass through it?

• pervious

• permeable

• impermeable

• porous

Which works of a river requires it to have energy?

• erosion

• deposition

• transportation

Under which circumstances would be a river have high energy?

• large volume of water

• flow in flat area

• steep gradient

• large load in the channel

The cracks found along the banks of a river are due to erosion. They are formed by turbulent waters forming jet streams which break up the rocks. This sheer force of the water breaking down the rocks is known as ________________

Which of the following processes may result in the deepening of the river's bed?

• abrasion

• attrition

• solution

• hydraulic action

The process where the load bounces or jumps along the river's channel is known as ___

• traction load

• suspension

• solution

• saltation

Which two processes result in the carrying of bedload?

• traction

• suspension

• solution

• saltation

Light load is transported by the stream's water. They are transported as suspension and solution. The load carried in that way is known as

What process in the water cycle is responsible for the formation of rivers?

• infiltration

• runoff

• transpiration
