Answer:

1. Incised meander.

2. Base level.

3. Terrace.

4. Lake

5. Meander.

6. Floodplain.

Explanation:

Erosion can be defined as a geological process which typically involves the wearing out of earthen (soil) materials and the transportation of these materials by natural forces like water, wind, etc. Soil erosion is greatest when the soil is steep.

The steepness of a body such as river or stream refers to the downward slope or gradient of the body of water.

Generally, the steepness of a body affects the rate at which other materials would flow or move around. Thus, the steeper a river or stream, the greater would be its rate of erosion.

Some of the characteristics of an erosion include the following;

1. An incised meander is a bend in a steep narrow bedrock valley. It avails a river large amount of vertical erosion power and as such enabling a downcut.

2. The lowest level to which a stream can erode is called a base level. Some examples are dam, waterfall, lake, stream, etc.

3. A terrace is the remnant of a former floodplain.

4. Examples of local base level include a stream or a lake.

5. A sweeping bend of a stream which is migrating laterally in a wide, flat valley is called a meander.

6. The flat, broad area surrounding a stream is referred to as a floodplain.

melomori [17]

D. Stratovolcanoes are the most common types of volcanoes in contrast to the less common shield volcanoes and include Krakatoa and Vesuvius

Explanation:

The statement that does not describe a stratovolcano is the last option.

Cindercone volcanoes are the most common types of volcanoes and are more common than stratovolcano.

A volcano is a landform that originates from magma that cools and solidifies on the surface of the earth.

  • Stratovolcano are also called composite volcano.
  • They are steep sided volcanoes often with water craters in this middle.
  • Some of the lava cools in a stratovolcano before reaching the surface and can lead to violent eruptions.
  • They are usually found along destructive margins.
