2. civil engineer Engineers who design public works such as roads and bridges

3. erosion The wearing away of the surface of the Earth by natural processes such as wind or moving water.

4. laminar flow Slow, steady, constant flow of water

5. turbulent flow fast, rapid, erratic or chaotic flow of water

6. Turbulent vs. Laminar Flow: Which do you think would cause more erosion?

7. curvature How many curves a river takes and what size they are

8. Comparing river curvature: Which would you expect to experience more erosion from water flow?
