32. Carbonation: Karst Formed by the dissolution of soluble rocks Karst regions contain aquifers that are capable of providing large supplies of water.

35. Stream Flow Some of the consequences of natural stream flow present engineering and social challenges with which we grapple year after year, and have through civilization’s history. The flow of fresh water in channels on the Earth’s surface has been essential to the development of topography and most ecosystems.
36. Floodplain Delta Levee flat or nearly flat land adjacent to a stream or river that experiences occasional or periodic flooding deposit at the mouth of a river is usually roughly triangular in shape river's banks are built up above the level of the rest of the floodplain Meander

38. Alluvial fan fan-shaped deposit formed where a fast flowing stream flattens, slows, and spreads
39. Streams Locked in Valleys Streams like these (and the Potomac River at Great Falls) have virtually no (normal) floodplains. They have carved into rock so deeply, that their meandering and other characteristic evolutionary features are restricted.

41. Glacial landforms Outwash Plain- large volumes of rock and dirt debris that often spreads out in a great sheet Terminal Moraine - accumulation of boulders, stones, or other debris carried and deposited by a glacier Alaska Long Island, NY
6.6 magnitude; occurred on the Bam fault, and was caused by northward motion of the Arabian plate against the Eurasian plate; death toll has reached 41,000 ; worst recorded disaster in Iranian history
