1 RIVERS and WATERSHEDS ► CHAPTER 11

2  1. Erosion 2. Tributaries 3. Drainage Basin 4. Divide 5. Channel 6. Gradient

3 ► 7. Discharge ► 8. Load ► 9. Deposition ► 10. Alluvium ► 11. Delta ► 12. Water Table

4 ► SALT WATER vs. ► FRESH WATER ► FACE-OFF

5 SALT WATER ► SALT WATER:  1. Na+Cl- dissolved in water  2. Denser than fresh water  3. Electrical conductivity  -Using saline pools as batteries in the sun  -Generation of electricity by waves spinning a turbine (not well developed)

6 FRESH WATER ► FRESH WATER:  1. Less dense than salt water  2. Less conductive than salt water (does not serve as an electrolyte) serve as an electrolyte) -Cleaning and using for drinking -Spinning turbines to make electricity (Hydroelectric plants)
