I had written all my study material from the book down on paper but I lost the paper and I already returned the book. : ( All I have are these practice questions to help me pass the test but hopefully it will work. Thanks in advance.
A) You are in a boat on a river, and your altimeter reads 4,020 feet. After paddling for a few days, you calculate that you have traveled 100 miles. Your altimeter now reads 4,670 feet. What is the stream's gradient in ft/mi?
B) A region that might have a good potential for geothermal energy is one marked by numerous _____.
C) Known world petroleum reserves will yield about a 35-year supply of oil (True or False) (False, right?)
D) Much of the northern mid-western states and all of Canada were covered with a very thick sheet of ice only about 18,000 years ago (True or False)
E) What is the term applied to the sandbar that extends from a cliffed headland into the adjacent bay? It may partially block the adjacent bay.
F) If rivers start to entrench (incise) their meanders, what may have happened?
G) Underground water is about 35 times less plentiful than fresh water (excluding glaciers) on land. (True or False)

-
A) (4,670 - 4020) ft / 100 mi
B) hot springs, geysers, fumaroles…
C) That number is all over the board. Personally, I think it's a scare number trotted out by eco-nuts.
D) True, the Wisconsin glaciation.
E) Spit (partial) or bay mouth bar (complete).
F) The base level of the stream has been reduced.
G) False, fresh surface water amounts to about 1% of fresh subsurface water.
