EROSION- The transport of weathered materials….

A stream is a body of water that carries rock particles and dissolved ions and flows down slope along a clearly defined path, called a channel. Thus, streams.

Depositional Features. Deltas Deltas occur where a river that carries a large amount of sediment meets a lake or the sea. This meeting causes the river.

Rivers vs. Streams

How a V-shaped Valley Forms Link to web Link to web

V-shaped Valley

Cut Bank and Point Bar Identify each of them in the picture below

Cutbank & point bar  Point bar – sediments get deposited  cutbank – sediments get eroded

Young Rivers  Generally straight, narrow course of the river.  Waterfalls  Niagara Falls

Old Rivers  Generally flat areas  Wide flood plains  Meanders  Owens Valley, CA

Meandering River Can you find the old meanders in the picture?

Oxbow Lake Oxbow lake and Chippewa River, Wisconsin

Alluvial Fans Death Valley, CA

Delta (no not the airline) Mississippi Delta The mouth of a river where sediments get deposited

Flood Plain

What happens when you build a city on a flood plain?
