Water in its various states affects Earth's landforms and climate.
by Michael Schmidt
1. 2.1 Waves and Tides
1.1. Waves:circular movement o water particles that moves along the waters surface.
1.2. Tides:daily change in water level of oceans.
2. 2.2 Eroision and Deposition
2.1. Stream Characterisitics:characteistics that describe a stream or river.
2.2. Sediments: eroded rock fragments and soil carried by water or wind.
2.3. Watershed: area of land that drains into one main lake or river.
2.4. Continental Divide:highest point of land on a continent.
3. 2.3 Processes that Shape Ocean Basins and Continental Drainage
3.1. Glaciers:large moving bodie of ice.
3.2. Seamounts: underwater volcanos thatdon't come all the way to the top.
3.3. Moraines:when rock and gravel build up at the base of a glacier.
3.4. Eskers: glacier meltwater that flows in tunnels.
3.5. Drumlins small hills with a teardrop shape.
3.6. Kettle Lake: lake formed by a glaciers melt water.
4. 2.4 Water and Climate
4.1. Climate: the average weather measured over a long period of time.
4.2. Currents: smaller straems that move through bigger bodies of water.
