____ New York State’s generalized landscape regions are identified primarily on the basis of elevation and bedrock structure climate zones geologic age latitude ____ What is the largest sediment that can be transported by a stream that has a velocity of 125 cm/sec? cobbles pebbles sand clay ____The photograph shows a valley. Which agent of erosion most likely produced this valley’s shape? wave action moving ice blowing wind flowing water ____ Deposition within a meandering stream usually occurs on the inside of the curves because the water velocity decreases stream gradient increases water is deeper stream is narrower ____ The diagram shows an outcrop of different layers of sandstone in a region receiving heavy rainfall. Which sandstone layer appears to be the least resistant to weathering? A B C D ____The photograph shows a large boulder of metamorphic rock in a field in the Allegheny Plateau region of New York State. The boulder was most likely moved to this location by glacial ice prevailing wind streamflow volcanic action ____The map shows a meandering river. Points A and B are locations on the banks of the river. What are the dominant processes occurring at locations A and B? deposition at location A; erosion at location B erosion at location A; deposition at location B deposition at both locations A and B erosion at both locations A and B Base your answers to questions 8 through 11 on the diagram below. The arrows show the direction in which sediment is being transported along the shoreline. A barrier beach has formed, creating a lagoon (a shallow body of water in which sediments are being deposited). The eroded headlands are composed of diorite bedrock. A groin has recently been constructed. Groins are wall-like structures built into the water perpendicular to the shoreline to trap beach sand. ____ The groin structure will change the pattern of deposition along the shoreline, initially causing the beach to become wider
