Behavior is defined as the way an organism reacts to internal or external changes. There are different types of behaviors including innate behaviors which appear fully formed the first time without experience, and learned behaviors which develop through experience. The major types of learning are habituation, classical conditioning, operant conditioning, and insight learning, each involving different processes of forming associations between stimuli and responses.

Embodied Family Therapy Somatic Experiencing
SE Family Therapy uses principles of somatic experiencing to help families regain their innate health and resilience after trauma. The therapy is short-term, solution-focused, and alternates between individual and family work to increase emotional regulation. By addressing both implicit body-based responses and explicit cognitive patterns, the therapy reduces stress levels and improves attachment behaviors within the family. The goals are changes to the family structure, stress levels, regulatory capacity, and increased quality of life for family members. Treatment involves joining with the family, assessment, resourcing to regulate emotions, restructuring patterns of interaction, and reassessing changes. Embodied tools include resourcing, orienting, family pauses, repatterning, completing defensive responses, rein

This document discusses embodied family therapy and healing family conflict through a somatic experiencing approach. It notes that family interactions shape the development of children's stress response systems and limbic systems. Disruptions in early attachment can cause long-lasting changes in stress reactivity. The document also discusses intergenerational trauma, trauma's effects on brain development, elements of consciousness, developing family resilience through emotion regulation, and implicit communication within families.
Theory of Operant Conditioning - B F Skinner
Operant conditioning is a theory of learning developed by B.F. Skinner that states organisms learn by reinforcing behaviors that lead to desirable outcomes or avoiding undesirable ones. Skinner conducted experiments using rat cages and levers to show rats learned to press levers more frequently when rewarded with food. He distinguished between elicited responses controlled by stimuli and emitted operant behaviors that are reinforced. Operant conditioning involves reinforcing desired behaviors through positive or negative reinforcement to increase their frequency.
Learning and memory
According to the document, there are four main types of learning: perceptual learning, stimulus-response learning, motor learning, and relational learning. Perceptual learning involves learning to recognize and categorize stimuli, while stimulus-response learning establishes connections between perception and movement to form behaviors in response to stimuli. Motor learning is a component of stimulus-response learning that establishes changes in motor systems through interaction with the environment. Relational learning connects individual stimuli to understand relationships between them.
Operant conditioning theory
B.F. Skinner was an influential psychologist known for introducing the concept of operant conditioning. After studying English literature, he became interested in psychology through the writings of Watson and Pavlov. Skinner developed operant conditioning techniques using a Skinner box, where rats learn behaviors like lever pressing through reward and punishment. He spent much of his career at Harvard University developing and expanding on these behaviorist ideas and techniques.

Group 3 presented on behaviorism on July 25th, 2013. Behaviorism is a theory that learning occurs through connections between stimuli and responses, and behavior can be explained through observable events rather than internal mental states. Key aspects of behaviorism include operant conditioning proposed by B.F. Skinner, which involves reinforcing desired behaviors through consequences to increase or decrease the likelihood of those behaviors reoccurring. Behaviorists view learning as a process of habit formation shaped by reinforcement or punishment from the environment.
OPERANT CONDITIONING
Operant conditioning is a method of learning through which organisms learn to repeat behaviors that yield positive outcomes or allow them to avoid negative outcomes. It involves reinforcing behaviors through consequences like rewards or punishments. B.F. Skinner identified the principles of operant conditioning and studied its effects using a Skinner Box, where he taught rats to perform behaviors like lever pressing through positive and negative reinforcement schedules. Operant conditioning uses techniques like shaping, chaining, and reinforcement schedules to modify behaviors. It has applications in areas like computer-assisted instruction and biofeedback.

Operant Conditioning by BF Skinner
Burrhus Frederic Skinner was an influential American psychologist who developed the theory of operant conditioning. Operant conditioning states that behavior is learned through reinforcement and consequences from past experiences. There are key principles of operant conditioning: behaviors followed by rewarding consequences like rewards or removal of negative stimuli will likely be repeated, while behaviors followed by negative consequences like punishment or removal of rewards will likely not be repeated. Behavior modification applies these principles of reinforcement to strengthen desired behaviors.
Operant Conditioning : Behavioral theory (B.F.SKINNER THEORY)
Operant conditioning is a theory of learning developed by B.F. Skinner that focuses on how voluntary behaviors are strengthened or weakened based on positive and negative consequences. Key aspects of operant conditioning include shaping behavior through reinforcement of closer approximations, extinction of behaviors when reinforcers are withheld, and spontaneous recovery of behaviors when removed from extinction. Reinforcers can be positive or negative and immediate or delayed. Different reinforcement schedules like fixed ratio and variable interval impact behaviors differently. While punishment can decrease behaviors, it has disadvantages and reinforcement is generally a better strategy for behavior change. Operant conditioning principles are applied in behavior modification programs and to enhance performance in sports, work, and other domains.
Skinner operant conditioning
This document provides an overview of B.F. Skinner's theory of operant conditioning. It defines operant conditioning as changing behavior through reinforcement or punishment. There are three types of operants: neutral, reinforcers, and punishers. Reinforcers increase behavior and punishers decrease it. Schedules of reinforcement like continuous, fixed ratio, and variable interval are also discussed. The document contrasts operant conditioning with classical conditioning and explains how shaping is used to successively reinforce closer approximations of a desired behavior through reinforcement.
Operant Conditioning
Operant conditioning is a method of learning that uses reinforcement or punishment to increase or decrease certain voluntary behaviors. There are three types of operants: neutral operants which neither increase nor decrease a behavior, reinforcers which increase a behavior through positive or negative reinforcement, and punishers which decrease a behavior. Reinforcers and punishers can be positive or negative depending on if something is presented or removed from the environment in response to the behavior.
ETHOLOGY
Stress causes physiological reactions in the body and can impact behavior. The body tries to maintain homeostasis in response to stressors. There are three phases of stress - alarm, resistance, and exhaustion. In the alarm phase the body's fight or flight response is activated. In the resistance phase the body tries to balance itself. In the exhaustion phase the body shuts down if stress continues long-term. Stress can lead to health issues like heart disease, asthma, diabetes and headaches if not managed properly. Animals can adapt to stressful environments through acclimation.
Operant applications
Operant conditioning principles can be applied in various settings to shape behaviors. Reinforcers are used in workplaces to increase productivity and in parenting to encourage good behaviors in children. Once addicted to drugs, continued drug use is reinforced by both the positive effects of the drugs and the negative reinforcement of avoiding withdrawal symptoms.
Operant Conditioning Theory
Operant condition theory is one among prominent behaviorist theories proposed by Skinner. The slides will help to unfold basic ideas about this theory.
Behaviorism no names
Behaviorism is a branch of psychology that focuses on observable and measurable behaviors that can be conditioned through stimuli. It was introduced by Ivan Pavlov and further developed by John B. Watson and B.F. Skinner. Pavlov's experiments with dogs demonstrated classical conditioning by associating a stimulus with food, while Watson performed experiments like Little Albert to prove classical conditioning in humans. Skinner introduced operant conditioning through experiments with rats and pigeons showing that behaviors are influenced by reinforcement and punishment.
Operant conditioning - skinner
B.F. Skinner developed the theory of operant conditioning based on his experiments using reward and punishment schedules with animals. He found that behaviors followed by rewarding consequences tended to be repeated, while behaviors followed by punishing consequences tended to decrease. Key aspects of operant conditioning include reinforcement, which increases behaviors; and punishment, which decreases behaviors. Skinner applied these principles to understanding complex learning in humans.

Positive reinforcement. Wearing makeup is being reinforced by receiving attention from others.
Operand Conditioning
Operant conditioning is a method of learning through reinforcement and punishment of behaviors. B.F. Skinner coined the term and conducted experiments using animals in a Skinner Box. He found that behaviors followed by reinforcement are more likely to be repeated, while behaviors followed by punishment are less likely to be repeated. There are different types of reinforcement and punishment that can strengthen or weaken behaviors according to operant conditioning principles.
Behavioural approach
The behavioral approach views all behaviors as learned through environmental stimuli and interactions. It studies observable behaviors and focuses on three main learning processes: classical conditioning through association; operant conditioning through reinforcement and punishment; and social learning through observing others. A strength is its scientific study of concepts like classical conditioning, but it is also reductionist by oversimplifying complex issues. Using animal studies also poses issues with extrapolating findings to human behaviors.
1.2 -behavourist_operant_sc
The document discusses operant conditioning, which is a theory of learning developed by B.F. Skinner. It states that operant conditioning occurs when behaviors are reinforced or punished, which then increases or decreases the likelihood of those behaviors reoccurring. Specifically, it discusses how Skinner used positive reinforcement by giving rats food for pressing a lever, and negative reinforcement by stopping an electric shock for rats when they pressed a lever. The document then provides examples of how positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, and punishment can be applied to behaviors.
Mod 18 Operant conditioning
Skinner's experiments with operant conditioning extended Thorndike's law of effect. Using an operant chamber (Skinner box), Skinner studied how behaviors are strengthened or weakened based on consequences. Reinforcers like food increase behaviors, while punishers decrease them. Schedules of reinforcement also impact behaviors. Operant conditioning involves cognition, as rats in mazes seem to develop cognitive maps. Skinner's work influenced understanding of learning but also received some criticism for not acknowledging cognition and inner mental processes fully. His research legacy advanced the field of psychology.
Behaviorist Theory
Behaviorism is based on three key ideas:
1) Behavior is determined by external stimuli in one's environment.
2) Behavior can be observed and predicted over time.
3) Desirable behaviors can be encouraged through rewards while undesirable behaviors can be discouraged through consequences or punishment.
Motivation and Emotion. Chapter 13
This document discusses different theories of motivation. It begins by defining motivation as the process that starts, directs, and sustains goal-oriented behaviors. Motivation can be intrinsic, stemming from internal satisfaction of an activity itself, or extrinsic, driven by external rewards or punishments. Six major theories of motivation are then outlined: instinct theory, drive-reduction theory, arousal theory, incentive theory, and humanistic theory. Key concepts in each theory like needs, drives, homeostasis, and optimal arousal levels are explained through examples. The document also discusses different types of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation as well as specific needs like achievement, affiliation and power.
Behaviorism
The document discusses the behavioral approach to language learning, which views language as a simple behavior shaped through stimulus-response conditioning and imitation. Behaviorists believe language is acquired through reinforcement from caretakers modeling speech. While experiments support association and imitation in language learning, behaviorism is limited as it does not account for the natural environment, brain maturation, or the creativity involved in generating novel sentences.
Taxis and kkinesis
This short document discusses two types of movement: taxis and kinesis. Taxis involves directed movement toward or away from a stimulus, while kinesis describes non-directed movement that is influenced by a stimulus but without orientation. The document provides examples of each type of movement but does not go into detail about specific mechanisms or organisms.
It's not easy being mammal
Mammals live in groups for protection from predators, but group life is frustrating. Other mammals get the good bananas and mating opportunities. When things go your way, your brain releases serotonin. It feels good, which motivates your brain to do things that stimulate more. You have inherited a brain that cares about its status in a herd or pack or troop, though you would never consciously think this. Your neurochemical ups and downs make sense when you understand the mammal brain.
Animal behavior
Animal behavior types can be categorized into several types including learning, habituation, imprinting, classical conditioning, trial and error learning, latent learning, insight, reasoning, and cognition. Learning is the modification of behavior based on experiences and can range from simple to complex. Habituation is the decrease in response to repeated stimuli over time. Imprinting occurs during a sensitive period where young animals learn recognition and attraction patterns. Classical conditioning pairs an innate response with a new stimulus. Trial and error and insight involve solving problems through testing or understanding relationships. Latent learning occurs without reinforcement. Animal cognition allows perception, processing, and use of information.

Circular dichroism spectroscopy seminar ppt
Circular dichroism spectroscopy measures the differential absorption of left and right circularly polarized light by chiral molecules. When light passes through an optically active substance, the left and right circular polarizations are absorbed to different extents. A CD spectrometer contains a light source, monochromator, polarizer, photoelastic modulator and detector. It measures the CD signal as a function of wavelength, providing information about secondary structure of proteins and nucleic acids. CD spectroscopy requires minimal sample amounts and can quickly analyze secondary structure without crystallization. It is useful for studying protein folding, ligand binding and environmental effects on structure.
Optical rotatory dispersion & circular dichorism
This document provides an overview of optical rotatory dispersion (ORD) and circular dichroism (CD). It defines ORD as the rate of change of specific rotation with changing wavelength, and explains that CD occurs when chiral compounds absorb left and right circularly polarized light to different extents. The document outlines several types of ORD and CD curves and describes applications like qualitative analysis, enzyme evaluation, and studying the structure of proteins and nucleic acids. It compares the key differences between ORD and CD techniques and briefly describes the instrumentation used for each.
Animal communication
Animal communication occurs when information is passed between two animals, known as the signaller and receiver. Communication can be intraspecific between members of the same species, or interspecific between different species. Modes of communication include visual signals like coloration, posture, and movement. Auditory signals include sounds, while chemical signals involve pheromones. Other modes are tactile contact, electrical signals in some fish, and surface vibrations. Visual signals in bees include round and waggle dances to communicate location of food sources. Animal communication serves functions like attracting mates, defending territory, and warning of predators.

Learning
The document discusses different types of learning including classical conditioning, operant conditioning, and cognitive learning theories. Classical conditioning involves pairing a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus to elicit a conditioned response. Operant conditioning is learning through reinforcement and punishment of voluntary behaviors. Cognitive learning theories examine thought processes underlying learning and include latent learning, observational learning, and insight learning.
Learning
This document defines and discusses different types of learning including trial and error learning, insight learning, imitation/observation, and cognitive learning. It also covers classical and operant conditioning, including definitions of key concepts like unconditioned stimulus, conditioned stimulus, unconditioned response, and conditioned response. Factors that influence learning are discussed, including motivation, reward and punishment, interest, group participation, familiarity, meaningfulness, and amount of material.
Learning
Learning is a process of acquiring knowledge through experience or being taught. There are several types of learning, including classical conditioning, operant conditioning, and observational learning. Classical conditioning involves associating a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus to elicit a conditioned response, as demonstrated in Pavlov's experiments. Operant conditioning involves voluntary responses that are reinforced or punished to increase or decrease a behavior. Observational learning occurs through observing and imitating others. Factors that influence learning include intelligence, prior knowledge, motivation, and the learning material and methods used. Various therapies also apply learning principles, such as systematic desensitization for phobias.
Behavior
The document discusses learning theories including behaviorism. Behaviorism defines learning as a change in behavior due to experience and conditioning. There are two types of conditioning - classical and operant. Classical conditioning involves linking a stimulus to a response, as shown in Pavlov's dog experiments. Operant conditioning occurs when a response is reinforced or punished, shaping behavior. Later theorists like Skinner expanded on operant conditioning principles through positive and negative reinforcement. While behaviorism provided a framework for understanding learning, it has also received criticism for disregarding internal mental processes.

animal behaviours and its types with examples
This document discusses different types of animal behavior. There are two main types: innate behavior, which is genetically determined and does not require learning, and learned behavior, which is acquired through an animal's experiences. Innate behaviors include taxes, kinesis, instincts, reflexes, and motivations. Learned behaviors are acquired through habituation, classical conditioning, operant conditioning, latent learning, and social learning processes like observational learning, goal-directed emulations, and imitation. The document provides examples to illustrate the different types of innate and learned behaviors.
Learning.pptx
Both reflexes and instincts help organisms adapt innately, while learning allows adaptation through experience. Learning involves a relatively permanent change in behavior or knowledge from experience. Associative learning occurs when organisms connect stimuli or events that occur together. Classical conditioning involves connecting neutral and unconditioned stimuli through repeated pairing, while operant conditioning associates behaviors with consequences. Observational learning occurs through imitating models.

1) Learning involves acquiring relatively permanent changes in behavior through experience. It can occur through classical conditioning, operant conditioning, and cognitive learning.
2) Classical conditioning pairs a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus to elicit a conditioned response. Operant conditioning uses reinforcement and punishment to modify voluntary behaviors. Cognitive learning focuses on mental processes like latent learning and observational learning.
3) Key principles of learning include reinforcement, punishment, shaping, extinction, generalization, and discrimination. Learning theories are applied to understand behaviors and design treatment programs.

This document discusses different types of learning including classical conditioning, operant conditioning, and cognitive learning. Classical conditioning involves associating a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus to elicit a conditioned response. Operant conditioning is learning through reinforcement and punishment where behaviors are strengthened or weakened based on consequences. Cognitive learning focuses on mental processes like attention, retention, and motivation that underlie learning through observation and latent learning when behaviors are acquired but not demonstrated until needed.

Learning is defined as a relatively permanent change in behavior due to experience. Classical conditioning links a neutral stimulus to an unconditioned stimulus that elicits a natural response, forming an association. Ivan Pavlov's famous experiments on dogs demonstrated classical conditioning. Operant conditioning associates responses with consequences, such as reinforcement or punishment, shaping behavior. Both types of associative learning are important ways organisms learn about their environment.
Chapter05
This document provides an overview of learning concepts including classical and operant conditioning. Classical conditioning involves associating a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus to elicit a response. Operant conditioning explains how behaviors are shaped by their consequences, such as reinforcement. Major figures who studied these concepts include Pavlov, Thorndike, Watson, and Skinner. Contemporary views acknowledge cognitive and biological factors in learning. Learning principles have applications in behavior modification, education, sports, and business.
Learning
Learning refers to any relatively permanent change in behavior resulting from practice or experience. There are two main types of learning: classical conditioning and operant conditioning. Classical conditioning involves associating a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus to elicit a conditioned response, like Pavlov's dog experiment. Operant conditioning is learning through rewards and punishments for behaviors. Behaviors followed by reinforcement tend to be repeated while behaviors followed by punishment tend to decrease.
Learning(general psychology)
This document summarizes several theories and concepts related to learning. It begins by defining learning as a process that occurs throughout life and involves both physical and mental adaptation. It then discusses three main types of learning: classical conditioning, instrumental/operant conditioning, and insight conditioning. For each type, it provides examples of influential theorists like Pavlov, Thorndike, and Kohler. It also outlines concepts like reinforcement, punishment, and how learning occurs in each type. Finally, it briefly discusses Edward Thorndike's three laws of learning: the law of readiness, the law of exercise, and the law of effect.
The Process of Learning
This document provides an overview of learning by defining it, outlining several theories of learning (behaviorism, cognitive learning, social learning theory), and describing key concepts. In 3 sentences:
Learning is defined as a relatively permanent change in behavior due to experience. Behaviorism focuses on observable behaviors and conditioning, while cognitive learning emphasizes connecting new information to existing ideas. Social learning theory also notes that learning occurs through observation of others, including observing rewards and punishments.

1. There are three main types of learning: classical conditioning, operant conditioning, and observational learning.
2. Classical conditioning involves forming an association between a neutral stimulus and an unconditioned stimulus to elicit a conditioned response, as discovered by Ivan Pavlov in his experiments with dogs.
3. Operant conditioning is a type of learning where behaviors are modified by reinforcement or punishment to increase or decrease the likelihood of those behaviors reoccurring, as proposed by B.F. Skinner.

Biology 26.1
This document defines key terms related to the animal kingdom, including invertebrates, vertebrates, feedback inhibition, blastula, protostomes, deuterostomes, radial symmetry, bilateral symmetry, and more. It describes animals as multicellular, eukaryotic heterotrophs and outlines their essential functions of feeding, respiration, circulation, excretion, response, movement, and reproduction. Complex animals are noted to have high cell specialization, internal organization, bilateral symmetry, a head with sense organs, and a body cavity.
Biology 26.2
Sponges contain specialized cells like choanocytes that use flagella to move water through the sponge for feeding, respiration, circulation, and excretion. They have structures like spicules made of calcium carbonate or silica that form their skeleton, and archaeocytes that produce these spicules. Sponges reproduce through internal fertilization and larval stages, and some can form protective gemmules during unfavorable conditions.
Biology 22.5
Angiosperms are flowering plants that reproduce sexually through flowers. Flowers contain ovaries that surround and protect seeds. Angiosperms are divided into monocots and dicots based on whether their seeds have one cotyledon (monocot) or two cotyledons (dicot). Flowering plants can also be annuals, biennials, or perennials depending on whether their life cycle is one, two, or more than two years.

The document discusses Precambrian time from 4.56 billion years ago until the Cambrian period over 4 billion years later. It describes shields as flat expanses of ancient metamorphic rock within continental interiors. Stromatolites are layered mounds formed from algae trapping sediment and calcium carbonate. Earth's original atmosphere lacked oxygen but primitive organisms evolved photosynthesis which began releasing oxygen into the atmosphere around 2.5 billion years ago.
Earth science 13.4
The Cenozoic Era saw the rise of mammals as the dominant land animal, replacing reptiles. Flowering plants known as angiosperms also became the dominant land plant over gymnosperms. Major geological events like mountain building, volcanism, and earthquakes occurred in western regions due to plate tectonics during this era. Mammals were better adapted than reptiles for more active lifestyles through bearing live young and maintaining steady body temperatures.
Earth science 13.2
The Paleozoic Era saw an explosion of life, as the continents of Gondwana and Laurasia formed most of the southern and northern portions of the supercontinent Pangea. During the Cambrian, Ordovician, and Silurian periods, life was restricted to the seas surrounding Gondwana, which contained the continents of present-day South America, Africa, Australia, Antarctica, and parts of Asia. By the end of the Paleozoic Era, around 400 million years ago, all continents had fused into the single landmass of Pangea, and plants first began moving from waterside habitats onto land.
Earth science 13.3
The Mesozoic era was the Age of Reptiles, where reptiles like dinosaurs quickly became the dominant land animals due to developing shelled eggs. Gymnosperms also dominated as the prominent plant during this time. A major geological event was the breakup of the supercontinent Pangea. Many reptile groups went extinct at the end of the Mesozoic era.

Continental drift is the hypothesis that the continents were once joined together and have since drifted apart. Originally proposed by Wegener, it suggests the continents were part of a supercontinent called Pangaea approximately 200 million years ago that has since broken apart, moving the landmasses into their current positions. Fossil and rock evidence support this idea, including matching fossil organisms and mountain ranges found on separate continents today that indicate the continents were once joined.

This document discusses seismograms and the different types of seismic waves that are recorded, including P waves, S waves, and surface waves. It explains that seismograms amplify and electronically record ground motion from earthquakes, allowing scientists to determine the epicenter location using travel time graphs from multiple seismographs. The document also covers historical intensity and magnitude scales used to describe earthquake size and introduces moment magnitude as the most widely used scale today because it estimates the energy released.
Biology 28 2 groups of arthropods
This document defines and describes key anatomical terms used to classify groups of arthropods. It discusses the cephalothorax, thorax, and abdomen found in crustaceans, as well as specific structures like the carapace, mandibles, chelipeds, swimmerets, chelicerae, pedipalps, and spinnerets. It concludes with three key concepts: arthropods are classified by body segments and appendages, especially mouthparts; crustaceans typically have two antennae, two or three body sections, and mandibles; and chelicerates have chelicerae mouthparts and two body sections, with nearly all having four pairs of walking legs.
Biology 2.4
Chemical reactions involve reactants being converted into products through breaking and forming chemical bonds, requiring a minimum amount of energy called the activation energy. Catalysts like enzymes speed up reactions by lowering this activation energy, with enzymes being protein catalysts that facilitate substrate reactions within cells.
Earth science 12.3
This document discusses radiometric dating and how it is used to determine the absolute ages of rocks and minerals. It explains key concepts such as radioactivity, half-life, and how comparing ratios of radioactive isotopes like carbon-14 and carbon-12 can be used to calculate radiocarbon dates for samples. Radiometric dating relies on the fact that radioactive isotopes decay at a constant rate and comparing the amounts of parent and daughter isotopes allows the age of a sample to be estimated.

Wind shapes landscapes through processes like deflation, desert pavement formation, and loess and dune deposition. Deflation is the lifting and removal of loose material by wind. Desert pavement is a layer of coarse pebbles created when wind removes finer material. Loess deposits are windblown silt deposits that form blanket-like layers, while dunes are ridges of wind-deposited sand that can vary in shape depending on wind and vegetation factors.
Earth science 7.2
Much of the weathered debris in deserts comes from mechanical weathering like alluvial fans formed where stream slopes abruptly decrease. While chemical weathering is less common, over long periods clays and thin soils can form. Desert streams are ephemeral, only flowing after rain, and often drying up before reaching oceans due to evaporation and soil infiltration. Most desert erosion comes from running water, though wind also erodes deserts, water does the most erosional work.
Earth science 7.1
Glaciers are large masses of ice that originate on land from compacted snow and move due to gravity. During an ice age, large ice sheets form on continents and flow outward, carving U-shaped valleys and depositing unsorted sediment called till. Valley glaciers are smaller glaciers confined to mountain valleys that flow due to plastic deformation and basal sliding between the ice and bedrock.
Earth science 6.3
Groundwater exists below the surface in the saturated zone where all spaces between rock and sediment are filled with water. The water table marks the top of this zone, and groundwater moves slowly through porous and permeable materials. Springs form where the water table intersects the surface, and overuse or contamination can threaten groundwater supplies in some areas. Karst regions have irregular terrain with sinkholes caused by erosion of soluble rock by groundwater in caverns below the water table.
Earth science 6.2
This document defines key terms related to streams and their processes, including bed load, capacity, alluvium, delta, natural levee, floodplain, flood, drainage basin, divide. It also describes concepts such as how streams erode and deposit sediment according to flow velocities, and how flooding occurs and can be mitigated. The overall work of streams is to shape the landscape through erosion, transportation, and deposition of sediment within drainage basins.
Earth science 6.1
The document discusses key concepts about running water and the water cycle. It defines terms like infiltration, transpiration, gradient, stream channel, discharge, tributary, base level, and meander. It explains that water constantly circulates among the oceans, atmosphere, geosphere, and biosphere in the water cycle. Balance in the cycle means annual precipitation equals evaporation globally. A stream's ability to erode and transport materials depends on its velocity, while gradient decreases and discharge increases from headwaters to the mouth.
