2 Deposition – the dropping of sediment

3 When sediments undergo pressure – they can turn into sedimentary rock.

4 Little pieces of sediment can just stick together without a cement. Siltstone feels dirty – like a dusty rock.

5 Big sediments need cement.

6 Sorted – separated by size.

7 Horizontal Sorting – when a river enters a lake

8 Vertical Sorting – when sediment is dumped straight down.

9 Landslides can dump sediment straight down into water.

10

11 Graded Bedding- more than one vertical sorting.

12 Deposition by gravity – unsorted, mix of angular fragments

13 Deltas- triangular shaped land made from river sediment depositing where the river slows down.

14 Alluvial Fan – deposit from mountain sediment onto land.

15 Alluvial fan

16 Waves deposit sediment on shore.

17 Longshore Drift – waves moves the sand down the beach.

18 Wind drops sand.

19 Sand Dune Formation

20 Melting Glaciers drop sediment.

21 Glacial Erratics – giant rocks

22 Glacial Deposits

23 Drumlin – elongated hill

24 Drumlins can tell direction.

25 Do you recognize this place?

26 Landscapes – how the land looks. Rochester, NY

27 A different landscape Sedona, Arizona

28 Mountains have a high relief. (Distance from top to bottom.) Adirondacks, NY

29 Mt. Marcy – highest mountain in NY

30 Plateaus-high relief – flat tops Allegheny Plateau, NY

31 Colorado Plateau

32 Ontario Lowlands (Plains)

33 NYS Landscape Regions

34 Humid landscapes are rounded. Genesee River in Letchworth State Park

35 Arid (dry) landscapes are angular. Sedona, Arizona

36 Young Stream

37 Middle-aged streams

38 Old-aged streams

39 Oxbow Lakes – formed when a meander pinches itself off.

40 Review of stream ages.

41 Can you see the Genesee ?
