Chapter 4 Objectives: you should be able to: 1. Sketch, label, and discuss the complete hydrologic cycle. 2. Explain the relation between infiltration and runoff that occurs during a rainfall. 3. Discuss the effect that urbanization has on the runoff and infiltration of an area. 4. Identify on a topographic map the following features that are associated with rivers and valleys: rapids, meanders, floodplain, oxbow lake, and back-swamps. 5. Explain the occurrence, fluctuation, use, and mis-use of groundwater supplies. 6. Identify on a topographic map the following features associated with karst landscapes: sinkholes, disappearing streams, and solution valleys. Chapter 5 Objectives: you should be able to: 1.Locate the desert and steppe regions of North America. 2.

Describe the different types of glacial deposits and the features they compose. 4. Identify and explain the formation of the features commonly found in areas where the landforms are the result of deposition by continental ice sheets. 5. Describe the evolution and appearance of a glaciated mountainous area. 6. Identify and explain the formation of the features caused by alpine glaciation. 1. Refer to Figure 4.4.
