A. ESRT page 2 used with page 3 shows the landscape regions of NYS and the associated bedrock.
Be familiar with the use of these pages

B. Factors that influence landscape formation
1. Climate:a. Type and amount of
precipitation: arid vs humid
![Page 6: Landscapes and Landscape Development Topic 14 in Review Book.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032414/56649eea5503460f94bfb846/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Arid climates result in angular features with steep slopes
Humid climates result in rounded features with gentle slopes
![Page 7: Landscapes and Landscape Development Topic 14 in Review Book.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032414/56649eea5503460f94bfb846/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
b. Type and amount of vegetation:
Vegetation prevents excessive weathering and erosion resulting in more gentle slopes
![Page 8: Landscapes and Landscape Development Topic 14 in Review Book.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032414/56649eea5503460f94bfb846/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
c. Range in temperatured. Duration and velocity of
winds
![Page 9: Landscapes and Landscape Development Topic 14 in Review Book.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032414/56649eea5503460f94bfb846/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
2. Rock Type
Resistance to weathering influences landscape development
Resistant bedrock results in steep, angular slopes
Nonresistant bedrock results in gentle, rounded slopes
![Page 10: Landscapes and Landscape Development Topic 14 in Review Book.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032414/56649eea5503460f94bfb846/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Variations in resistance creates unique landscape formations such asescarpments (cliffs)waterfalls
![Page 11: Landscapes and Landscape Development Topic 14 in Review Book.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032414/56649eea5503460f94bfb846/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
3. Geologic Structures
Used to classify landscape regions
Are tied to changes in bedrockIndicate landscape boundaries
![Page 12: Landscapes and Landscape Development Topic 14 in Review Book.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032414/56649eea5503460f94bfb846/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Faulted and/or folded bedrock create characteristic landscape features
![Page 13: Landscapes and Landscape Development Topic 14 in Review Book.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032414/56649eea5503460f94bfb846/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
C. Drainage Patterns
Bedrock and its various structures result in characteristic patterns of ground and surface water drainage
See Review Book page: 274 & 275

V. HydrologyThe study of water in, on and around the earth.
A.The water cycleA model of the movement and changes in phase of water at and near the surface of the earth.

1. Evapotranspiration: A combination of: The evaporation of surface
and subsurface water and the release of water vapor
through the pores of leaves. The source of atmospheric
water vapor!
![Page 19: Landscapes and Landscape Development Topic 14 in Review Book.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032414/56649eea5503460f94bfb846/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
2. PrecipitationThe source of water for the earth
3. Water and Climate:ET > PPT = dry or aridET < PPT = wet or humid
![Page 20: Landscapes and Landscape Development Topic 14 in Review Book.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032414/56649eea5503460f94bfb846/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Storage:Ground water and surface waters
Surplus:Excess waterDeficit:Insufficient water
![Page 21: Landscapes and Landscape Development Topic 14 in Review Book.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032414/56649eea5503460f94bfb846/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
4. Concepts of the Water Cycle
Infiltration:The process by which water soaks into the ground under the influence of gravity
The water table is the limit of infiltration
![Page 22: Landscapes and Landscape Development Topic 14 in Review Book.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032414/56649eea5503460f94bfb846/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
If the ground is saturated (holding all of the water it can hold) infiltration cannot occur.
If the ground is frozen, infiltration will not occur.
If precipitation is rapid and/or intense, infiltration is less likely to occur.
![Page 23: Landscapes and Landscape Development Topic 14 in Review Book.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032414/56649eea5503460f94bfb846/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
If the slope is steep, infiltration is less likely to occur.
If the ground is covered with pavement and/or buildings, infiltration is not likely to occur.
If the soil is impermeable, infiltration cannot occur.
![Page 24: Landscapes and Landscape Development Topic 14 in Review Book.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032414/56649eea5503460f94bfb846/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Permeable soil or sediment allows water to flow down through it.
Porosity is the percentage of open space within a soil sample and indicates the ability of a material to hold water in those open spaces. Porosity depends upon the interconnectedness of the spaces between the sediment.
![Page 25: Landscapes and Landscape Development Topic 14 in Review Book.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032414/56649eea5503460f94bfb846/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Well-sorted sediments with around grains have a high porosity.
Size does NOT affect porosity!Shape and degree of sorting does!
Porous sediment is very permeable.
![Page 26: Landscapes and Landscape Development Topic 14 in Review Book.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032414/56649eea5503460f94bfb846/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
As porosity increases, permeability increases
As degree of sorting increases, porosity increases and permeability increases
As roundness increases, porosity increases and permeability increases.
![Page 27: Landscapes and Landscape Development Topic 14 in Review Book.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032414/56649eea5503460f94bfb846/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
B. Water Table
The interface between the zone of aeration and the zone of saturation.
Its depth fluctuates and is dependent on the amount of available moisture.
![Page 28: Landscapes and Landscape Development Topic 14 in Review Book.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032414/56649eea5503460f94bfb846/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
At times of moisture surplus, the water table is located closer to the surface…the depth of the water table decreases!
![Page 29: Landscapes and Landscape Development Topic 14 in Review Book.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032414/56649eea5503460f94bfb846/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
At times of moisture deficit: the water table is located farther from the surface…the depth of the water table increases!
![Page 30: Landscapes and Landscape Development Topic 14 in Review Book.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032414/56649eea5503460f94bfb846/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
