True or False
1 .
Geomorphology is the study of weathering, mass movement, and arid environments.
True
False
2 .
The balancing act between tectonic uplift and the wearing away of landforms by weathering and erosion is an example of the dynamic equilibrium model.
True
False
3 .
Frost action and pressure-release jointing are examples of chemical weathering processes.
True
False
4 .
Spheroidal weathering is a chemical process that involves water penetrating joints and fractures in rock and dissolving the rocks cementing materials.
True
False
5 .
Sheeting is an exfoliation process that is often associated with pressure-release jointing and the formation of exfoliation domes.
True
False
6 .
In order for karst topography to occur, there must be little vegetation cover and widely varying temperatures.
True
False
7 .
Scarification is the oversteepening of slopes in coastal areas.
True
False
8 .
The Madison River landslide in Montana is an example of the role of slopes and tectonic activity in creating mass movement events.
