1. What is this karst landform (N 47.21181 W 121.94142), how did it form, and what do the hatchered contours mean (that you can see in Acme Mapper topo tap)?

a.

This blind lake formed when the hole to the underground cavern system plugged up with silt. The hatchered contours indicate that the area collects water.

b.

This depression formed when the limestone roof fell into an underground cavern, and this is what the hatchered contours mean.

c.

This doline formed by the dissolution of granite rock, and the hatchered contours tell you that the location is a depression.

d.

This doline formed through limestone dissolution, and the hatchered contours tell you that the location is a depression.

INTRODUCTION

This module examines weathering and mass wasting. Topics includephysical weathering, chemical weathering, and mass wasting. While these topics may appear to be disparate, you will learn how they are inherently related.The modules start with four opening topics, or vignettes, which are found in the accompanying Google Earth file. These vignettes introduce basic concepts of the weathering and mass wasting. Some of the vignettes have animations, videos, or short articles that will provide another perspective or visual explanation for the topic at hand.After reading the vignette and associated links, answer the following questions. Please note that some links might take a while to download based on your Internet speed.
