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. Monica . Mustain. From groundwater encyclopedia: “. Refers to lands primarily underlain by limestone and dolomite where surface water is integrally connected to the ground water system from preferential flow routes.”. 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”. 1 Grade Level: Grades 9-12Lesson Objectives: Students will• Learn about karst topography including sinkholes, caves, and springs • Recognize that karst terrains are integrated systems an LA’s Water Resources. You may be familiar with Spring water… . Aquifer:. A water-bearing. rock. that readily transmits water to wells and springs . Water Bearing Rock??. Let’s investigate!. notes. Weathering . Students will be able to describe and give examples of chemical and physical weathering.. . Weathering. The breakdown of materials on Earth’s crust into smaller pieces.. Two Types of Weathering. Chemical Weathering. Jade,McKaylin,Atavia,Hayley. Key terms . Cavern. A large cave that may consist of many smaller connecting chambers.. Sinkhole. a circular depression that forms at the surface when rock dissolves, sediment is removed or when caves or mines collapse. . 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. Karst. groundwater . the water that is beneath Earth’s surface. porosity. . the percentage of the total volume of a rock or sediment that consists of open spaces. permeability . the ability of a rock or sediment to let fluids pass through its open spaces, or pores. 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.. Living with sinkholes. Cathy Pappas-. Maenz. Department of Geology.

Groundwater. is simply water under the ground where the soil is completely filled or . saturated with water. PERMEABILITY IS. ……. Karst Topography. What is . Karst. topography?. topography developed in areas underlain by carbonate rocks, including limestone and dolomite. . Karst. topography includes features like caves and sinkholes and forms when limestone is slowly dissolved away by slightly acidic groundwater. .
