13 13.1 Streams and Rivers Surface Water
CHAPTER Surface Water CHAPTER HOME 13.1 Streams and Rivers VOCABULARY A river system consists of a river and all of its tributaries. tributary river system drainage basin Tributary River Divide watershed divide gradient discharge The drainage basin of a river system is all the land that is drained by the river and its tributaries. A river’s velocity, gradient, discharge, and channel shape affect how it erodes and transports materials. SECTION OUTLINE

13.2 Stream Erosion and Deposition
CHAPTER Surface Water CHAPTER HOME 13.2 Stream Erosion and Deposition VOCABULARY deposition pothole Rivers wear down Earth’s surface and erode and deposit materials. A river may carry materials in solution, in suspension, and in its bed load. load suspension bed load competence Flow Suspension: Silt and clay Bed load: sand, gravel, pebbles and boulders Materials carried in solution cannot be seen. capacity delta SECTION OUTLINE
11
13.2 Stream Erosion and Deposition
CHAPTER Surface Water CHAPTER HOME 13.2 Stream Erosion and Deposition VOCABULARY deposition pothole Velocity and discharge affect how much material a river can transport. When river velocity greatly decreases, sediment drops out of the water to form a delta or alluvial fan. load suspension bed load competence Over time, sediments build up, forming a delta. capacity delta SECTION OUTLINE
12
13 Surface Water deposition
CHAPTER Surface Water CHAPTER HOME VOCABULARY deposition pothole deposition load The process by which materials are dropped, such as sand or silt by a stream; also, the process by which frost forms when water vapor condenses as a solid. suspension bed load competence capacity delta SECTION OUTLINE

13 CHAPTER Surface Water CHAPTER HOME VOCABULARY deposition pothole pothole load Deep oval or circular basins cut into a stream or river bed by abrasion from swirling sand, pebbles, and small boulders. suspension bed load competence capacity delta SECTION OUTLINE
14
13 CHAPTER Surface Water CHAPTER HOME VOCABULARY deposition pothole load load The eroded rock and soil materials that are transported downstream by a river. suspension bed load competence capacity delta SECTION OUTLINE
15
13 Surface Water suspension
CHAPTER Surface Water CHAPTER HOME VOCABULARY deposition pothole suspension load A state in which rock materials carried by a river are stirred up and kept from sinking by the turbulence of stream flow. suspension bed load competence capacity delta SECTION OUTLINE
16
13 CHAPTER Surface Water CHAPTER HOME VOCABULARY deposition pothole bed load load Sand, pebbles, and boulders that are moved along the bed of a stream and that are too heavy to be carried in suspension. suspension bed load competence capacity delta SECTION OUTLINE
17
13 Surface Water competence
CHAPTER Surface Water CHAPTER HOME VOCABULARY deposition pothole competence load A measure that describes the maximum size of the particles a stream can carry. suspension bed load competence capacity delta SECTION OUTLINE
18
13 Surface Water capacity
CHAPTER Surface Water CHAPTER HOME VOCABULARY deposition pothole capacity load A measure of the total amount of sediment a stream can carry. suspension bed load competence capacity delta SECTION OUTLINE
19

13 13.3 River Valleys Surface Water
CHAPTER Surface Water CHAPTER HOME 13.3 River Valleys VOCABULARY Youthful rivers form steep-sided canyons and V-shaped valleys. The lowest level to which a river can erode its bed is called its base level. headward erosion base level stream piracy Rapids can form as a river runs down a deep slope, while a river that plunges over a cliff forms a waterfall. SECTION OUTLINE

13 Surface Water headward erosion
CHAPTER Surface Water CHAPTER HOME VOCABULARY headward erosion base level headward erosion stream piracy The process by which land is worn away at the head of gully or stream valley. SECTION OUTLINE
22
13 Surface Water base level
CHAPTER Surface Water CHAPTER HOME VOCABULARY headward erosion base level base level stream piracy The level of the body of water into which a stream flows. SECTION OUTLINE
23
13 Surface Water stream piracy
CHAPTER Surface Water CHAPTER HOME VOCABULARY headward erosion base level stream piracy stream piracy The diversion of the upper part of one stream by the headward growth of another stream. SECTION OUTLINE

13.4 Floodplains and Floods
CHAPTER Surface Water CHAPTER HOME 13.4 Floodplains and Floods VOCABULARY A river that has cut down close to its base level tends to erode the sides of its valley, forming a meandering river in a wide flood plain. flood floodplain meanders oxbow lake natural levees Valley wall Back swamp flash flood Oxbow lake floodplain Meander Natural levees Yazoo tributary SECTION OUTLINE

13.4 Floodplains and Floods
CHAPTER Surface Water CHAPTER HOME 13.4 Floodplains and Floods VOCABULARY River floods are natural events that can have constructive as well as destructive effects. flood floodplain meanders oxbow lake natural levees flash flood People have developed different methods to control and prevent river flooding.
