SOLID SURFACES - PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY
(a) What topographical features are found on clean surfaces?
(b) Describe how steps and terraces might be formed.
Solution :
Part A
drag reduction
Self cleaning
Hydrophobic
Anti adhesive
anti-frosting
Part B.
They are formed by the downcutting of a river or stream channel into and the abandonment and lateral erosion of its former floodplain. The downcutting, abandonment, and lateral erosion of a former floodplain can be the result of either changes in sea level, local or regional tectonic uplift; changes in local or regional climate; changes in the amount of sediment being carried by the river or stream; change in discharge of the river; or a complex mixture of these and other factors
Step-like terraces along valleys form as stream erosion switches back and forth between periods of down cutting versus valley widening floodplain development.
