5. Ocean deposition Beaches!

6. Coastal deposition On coastlines already worn down

8. Stabilizing the coast Harbors or bays may close over, cliffs may fall

9. Stabilizing the coast Unintended consequences

12. Absorb energy from waves and protect shores

13. Fluvial basics Fluvial processes: involving running water

14. Fluvial basics Watershed: all the land that drains into a stream

15. Fluvial erosion Amount of erosion depends on: –Speed of river –Degree of turbulence –Type of bedrock

16. Fluvial transport Material carried by a stream is the stream load Bed load, dissolved load, or suspended load

17. Fluvial deposition Found all along rivers; especially at mouth
