1. Earth Science Erosion/Deposition

2. Agents of Erosion Moving Water (Rivers & Runoff) Moving Ice Wind
Mass Movement
Waves

3. Erosion/Deposition: Moving Water (Rivers)
D.E.Q. How does Moving Water (Rivers) change the surface?

4. Erosion/Deposition: Moving Water (Rivers)
Greater slope will: (Determined by terrain)
Increase the force of gravity, and in return:
The V-shaped river valley will be deeper
Have faster moving water
Carry more sediment (cause more erosion)
Have a narrower river
Take a straighter course

5. Erosion/Deposition: Moving Water (Rivers)
Greater slope
Farmington River

6. Erosion/Deposition: Moving Water (Rivers)
Greater slope

7. Erosion/Deposition: Moving Water (Rivers)
Lesser slope will: (Determined by terrain)
Decrease the force of gravity, and in return:
The V-shaped river valley will be shallow
The water will slow down
The river becomes wider
The sediments will start to settle (DEPOSITION)
The river’s course will meander (bend and loop)
Delta will form where river exits into a larger body of water

8. Erosion/Deposition: Moving Water (Rivers)
Lesser slope
Meander
Farm River

9. Erosion/Deposition: Moving Water (Rivers)
Lower Slope
Farm River Delta

10. Erosion/Deposition: Moving Water (Rivers)
Lesser Slope
Farm River
