Throughout New York State CLIMATE is basically the same. BEDROCK GEOLOGY
is the main influence in landscape development.

New York has a humid (moist) environment, with lots of plants.
The roots help to hold the land and soil in place.

New York
hillsides are
rounded because of plants
and their roots.

Deforestation!

Arid (dry) environments have few plants.
No roots to “hold on” to land.

How is the shape of the land different in arid landscapes?

The block diagrams below show two landscape regions labeled A and B.
What is the most probable cause of the difference in surface features between A and B?
(1) A is the result of a humid climate, while B is a dry climate.
(2) A is at a high elevation, while B is located at sea level.
(3) A is a plateau region, while B is a mountainous region.
(4) A is composed of igneous bedrock, while B is composed of sedimentary bedrock.

Water on land will “drain” in certain
directions, creating a
drainage basin or “watershed”.

The shape of the land determines the pattern of drainage in the basin.
Plains - Lowlands

Plateaus - Highlands
The shape of the land determines the pattern of drainage in the basin.
