1. Factors that affect DEPOSITION
Particle Size: smaller = slower
Particle Shape: more surface area = slower
Particle Density: similar size, >D = faster 

3. Sorting of Sediments Vertical Sorting:
the roundest, largest, and densest particles settle at the bottom of a layer, while flatter, smaller, less dense particles settle on the top (landslide, underwater landslides)

5. Verticle Sorting (a GRADED BED)
Decreasing size
Decreasing size

7. HORIZONTAL SORTING
Stream enters a large body of water, the velocity decreases and deposition occurs
Larger sediments are deposited first
Delta may form

9. Drainage Patterns of Watersheds
Dendritic
Radial
Rectangular
Trellis

15. HYDROLOGIC CYCLE
condensation
precipitation
transpiration
evaporation
runoff
infiltration
Water table
Stream, spring, lake, or ocean
aquifer
Groundwater flow

16. GROUND WATER Groundwater is always moving --but very slowly
Moves only inches per year

18. 3 FACTORS AFFECT INFILTRATION
PERMEABILITY – ABILITY OF WATER TO FLOW (IMPERMEABLE – NO WATER CAN FLOW THROUGH)
POROSITY – PORE SPACES BETWEEN SEDIMENTS
CAPILLARITY – THE ABILITY OF WATER TO MOVE UPWARD IN SOIL

19. Permeability – larger size = higher perm
Impermeable = cannot flow through
Porosity – SIZE has NO EFFECT
Shape – rounder = higher porosity
Mixing Sizes – lower porosity
Tightly packed = lower porosity
Capillarity – smaller size particles = GREATER/BETTER Capillarity

21. FINE SAND Moderate drainage
PERMEABILITY
GRAVEL  Rapid drainage
 FINE SAND Moderate drainage
 CLAY Slow drainage

22. Clay is impermeable – water will not flow through easily

23. CAPILLARITY – WATER MOVES UPWARD
SMALLER SIZED PARTICLES INCREASE CAPILLARITY

24. Soil Storage Saturation
INFILTRATION
Infiltration refers to water soaking into the ground:
Permeability
Infiltration rate
Porosity
Infiltration rate
Infiltration rate
Slope
Infiltration rate
Soil Storage Saturation

25. GROUND WATER - Aquifer WATER INFILTRATES STOPS AT IMPERMEABLE LAYER
RISES FROM BOTTOM UP – (LIKE FILLING A BATH TUB) THIS IS CALLED GROUNDWATER AKA – SATURATED ZONE AKA - AQUIFER
TOP OF SATURATED ZONE IS THE WATER TABLE
UNSATURATED ZONE – AIR AND WATER
CAPILLARY FRINGE – WATER RISES TO FEED ROOTS

27. WATER TABLE
RISES WITH RAINFALL
FALLS WITH DROUGHT
