What evidence from the map suggests that the pediment is covered with a mantle of alluvium?
The questions is based on Figure 45-3, a portion of the “Antelope Peak, Arizona” quadrangle (scale 1:62,500; contour interval 25 feet). In the northern portion of the map, a gently sloping pediment is visible (32°47'52"N, 112°05'21"W). You may view this map in color by going to the Lab Manual website or by scanning the QR code for this exercise.
What will be an ideal response?

Briefly explain radiative equilibrium
Condensation of water onto your bathroom mirror while you shower is an example of
A) saturation caused by adding water vapor to the air B) saturation caused by mixing cold air with warm, moist air C) saturation caused by lowering the temperature to the dew point
Hydrostatic equilibrium occurs when:
A) the force of gravity and the vertical pressure gradient both act to push air upward. B) the force of gravity and the vertical pressure gradient both act to push air downward. C) the force of gravity and the vertical pressure gradient have equal value and oppose each other. D) large air masses are moving either up or down.
