PPT-Groundwater and Karst Topography

Chapter 9 Section 2 The Hydrologic Cycle WATER CYCLE Evaporation Condensation Precipitation Runoff Soil is made up of many small rock and mineral fragments Holes cracks and crevices exist in the rock underlying the soil. Chapter 4.1. Pages 118-127. Key Questions. How does moving water cause erosion?. What land features are formed by water erosion and deposition?. Moving water is the major agent of the erosion that has shaped Earth’s land surface.. Streams in karst areas sometimes lose large volumes of surface water through gradual loss into underground caverns. . Environmental Concerns with Karst. More Concerns. Cow manure in streams can lead directly to underground cavern systems.. By: Robert J Kelley. Karst review. Karst- mostly limestone/. dolostone. Well cemented grains. Conduit dominated. Features: caves (wet/dry) . springs, sinkholes. Tracing- an Overview. The art of tracking. Movement and Storage of Groundwater. Section 2: . Groundwater Weathering and Deposition. Section . 3: . Groundwater Supply. Section 1: . Groundwater reservoirs provide water to streams and wetlands wherever the water table intersects the surface of the ground.. Karst. ?. The . land has different sized blocks of limestone which create fractures in the rock. . These . fractures are where the water seeps in, dissolves the rock, and forms caves.. Different Types of . A BRIEF REVIEW OF THOUGHT. ~1880 - ~1960. Derek Ford. McMaster University. Canada. Before the 18. th. Century ‘Age of. saturates . pore spaces of . bedrock.. The rate of movement of groundwater is gravity driven, varying between 0.6 inches per day (in sandstones) to several inches per year (in . granites. ). The source of groundwater is rain and melt water infiltrating and percolating through fractures/pores in soil and . Living with sinkholes. Cathy Pappas-. Maenz. Department of Geology. Dawson College. What is a sinkhole?. A hole in the ground which is not connected to surface drainage.. Sinkholes are typically found in a landscape referred to as “Karst Topography”. MANAGEMENT. Dale L. Pate.
