QUESTIONS WITH VERIFIED
ANSWERS.
The process in which, by actions of the wind, a soil particle is
detached and removed from its location - correct answer-Wind
Erosion
-Surface creep
-Saltation
-Suspension - correct answer-Types of wind erosion
Soil particles begin to roll along the surface - correct answer-
Surface Creep
Soil particles being to be lifted into the air but fall quickly back
to the surface, bouncing and possible dislodging other particles
- correct answer-Saltation
,Soil particles are lifted into the air and are blown by the wind to
a location from their orgin - correct answer-Suspension
-compaction
-moisture
-cover
-wind speed - correct answer-Factors affecting soil loss from
wind erosion
-forming less erodible surface (increase soil moisture, chemical
binders, vegetation)
-Reducing surface wind speed (surface cover, orientation of
surface, windscreen) - correct answer-How to manage wind
erosion
The study of the movement, distribution, and the quality of
surface runoff - correct answer-Hydrology
-Precipitation
-watershed area
-soil permeability
, -ground cover
-antecedent moisture
-storage in watershed
-time parameters - correct answer-Factors Affecting Runoff
-diversion practices
-slowing practices
-infiltrating practices
-armoring practices
-pumping - correct answer-Managing Water Practices
Expression of the surface runoff flowing through a given point
with respect to time - correct answer-Hydrograph
Time it takes runoff to travel from the hydraulically most distant
point in a watershed to the design point - correct answer-Time
of concentration
Time it takes runoff to travel from one point to another point
down slope along a hydraulic segment in a watershed - correct
answer-Travel Time
