- Hydraulic Action, Solution, Saltation and Attrition
- Hydraulic Action, Corrosion, Attrition and Abrasion
- Hydraulic Action, Levees, Solution and Attrition
7. When does a waterfall form?
- When an area of hard rock is next to and above an area of soft rock with a river flowing across it
- When a wave-cut platform is above a cave
- When an area of soft rock is next to and above an area of soft rock with a river flowing across it
8. What are the two human factors of flooding?
- Waterfalls and Deforestation
- Deforestation and Buildings
- Meanders and Snowmelt
9. Which of the options are present when a river drops its load?
- Water is deeper
- Volume of water in the river falls
- Volume of eroded material decreases
10. Which of these are both physical factors of flooding?
- Buildings and Prolonged Rainfall
- Snowmelt and Heavy Rainfall
- Prolonged Rainfall and Deforestation
11. What is Attrition?
- A type of Mechanical Weathering
- Rocks tap against eachother making angular rocks become smooth
- Rivers pick up stones and use them erode the sides of the valley
12. In what course of the river does a meander form?
- Middle and Upper
- Middle and Lower
- Upper and Lower
13. Which of these areas is an area of water deficit but high demand?
- Wales
- The South and East of England

- Becomes an Ox-Bow Scar
- Becomes an Ox-Bow Ghost
- Becomes an Ox-Bow Cup
15. What sentence best describes the Upper Course of the river?
- Gentle Gradient with a V-Shaped, steep sided valley. Narrow but deep channel.
- Steep Gradient with a V-Shaped, steep sided valley. Narrow and shallow channel.
- Medium Gradient with a U-Shaped, sloping sided valley. Wide but shallow channel.
16. What does a 'Cross Section' of a river show?
- The height of the river bed at different points in the river
- Cross section at ONE POINT in the river
- Number of meanders along the river
17. Which of the options are NOT evidence for waterfalls on a map?
- Close contour lines
- Far apart contour lines
- Waterfalls are marked on a map
18. What does a 'Long Profile' of a river shows?
- Gradient changes over the different courses of a river
- Length, in metres, of different rivers compared to eachother
- Number of meanders along the river
19. What is the 'Lag Time' on a Hydrograph
- Delay between peak rainfall and peak discharge
- Increase in rivers discharge in one hour
- Height of rainfall vs. Height in river
