questions out of the upco's physical setting earth science book(charts arnt included)
pg. 128 #1-10
1.rainfall is most likely to infiltrate into soil that is
(1)permeable and saturated (2)permeable and unsaturated
(3)impermeable and saturated (4) impermeable and unsaturated
2.which graph best described the relationship between the slope of the land and the amount of surface runoff during a period of heavy rainfall?
(answers 1-4)(graph not included)
3.when rain falls on a soil surface,flooding at that location would most likely occur if the
(1)soil surface is permeable (2)soil surface is covered with vegetation
(3)soil pore spaces are filled to capacity (4)infiltration rate exceeds the precipitation rate
4.when water was poured into the top of each tube at the sae time,which tube allowed the water to pass through most quickly?(graph no tincluded)
(1)A (2)B (3)C (4)D
5.according to the earth science reference tables, the soil in tube C would be classified as
(1)sand (2)cobbles (3)silt (4)pebbles
6.each tube was placed in a shallow pan of water. in which tube did the water rise the highest?
(1) A (2)B (3)C (4)D
7. the bottom of each tube was closed ad water was slowly pured into each tube until the water level reached the dotted reference line. which statement best described the amount of water held by the tubes
(1)tube D held more water than any other tube and tube A the least.
(2)tube C held more water than any other tube abd tube D the least.
(3)tubes A and D geld the same aount of water and twice as much as tubes B and C.
(4)tubes A,B, and C held the same aount of water and tube D half as much.
8.a handful of material from tube D was dropped into a ifh tube filled with water only.in which order would the particle sizes of this soild probably settle in the tube from the bottom of the tube upward?
(1)fine on the bottom,then medium,the coarse (2)fine on the bottom,the coarse,then medium
(3)course on the bottom,then medium,then fine (4)coarse on the bottom,then fine,then medium
9.which property of loose earth material most likely increases a particle size decreases?
(1)capillarity (2)infiltration (3)permeability (4)porosity
10.which diagram best illustrates the condition of the soil below the water table?(chart not shown)
(1) 1 (2) 2 (3) 3 (4) 4
please answer the ones you know i have a huge test tommorow on this stuff and i forgot to put the right answers in my book to study from.! please help.
