,Define erosion - ✔✔the weathering down of parent material and the detachment by the

action of wind, water, ice and gravity


What is the erosion rate of soil for a site by water dependent on? - ✔✔on-site

characteristics, soil physical and chemical variables, and land management practices


what is sediment deposition (sedimentation)? - ✔✔the process by which soil particles

that have been suspended within the water or air column settle back to the ground

surface


what equation is used to estimate the annual average erosion rate for a site? -

✔✔RUSLE


Brain Break! (answer a question completely unrelated to stormwater)




What is the largest desert in the world? - ✔✔Antarctica Desert (don't believe me? google

it!)


what can sedimentation be a result of? - ✔✔reduced flow rates/flow velocities, higher

frictional forces, increased sediment load within runoff


site characteristics that directly impact the likelihood for soils to erode: - ✔✔soil type,

vegetative cover, topography, climate

, define hydrology - ✔✔the study of water, including its occurrence, circulation,

distribution, chemical and physical properties, and the reaction of those properties to

the environment


parameters that characterize the hydrology of a site include; - ✔✔precipitation,

evaporation, infiltration, runoff


the hydrologic cycle describes the movement of water... - ✔✔above the surface, on the

surface, and below the surface


the hydrologic cycle is a... - ✔✔continuous process (no start or end)


water will exist in all 3 states: - ✔✔vapor, liquid, solid


define watershed (NOAA def): - ✔✔a land area that channels rainfall and snowmelt to

creeks, streams, and rivers, and eventually to outflow points such as reservoirs, bays,

and the ocean


A specified rainfall depth over a specified duration - ✔✔design storm


A land area that channels rainfall and snowmelt to creeks, streams, and rivers, and

eventually to outflow points such as reservoirs, bays, and the ocean - ✔✔watershed


define slope - ✔✔slope/gradients is defined as a number, typically a %, that describes

the direction and steepness of a surface


typical method of slope calculation - ✔✔rise over run ( slope% = rise/run )
