"BIG IDEAS" Mass Wasting: Triggers, events Running Water: Drainage patterns, base level, stream profile changes, "young" vs "old" rivers, capacity vs. competence Groundwater: Cross section of groundwater system, characteristics of good aquifers, permeability vs. porosity, caves and karst topography Glaciers: types of glaciers, feature names, Milankovich cycles, types of glacial motion |
