    Objective: What factors affect Erosion and Deposition in Rivers? Do Now: Discuss Hurricane Article Brainstorm how can we go downhill faster? Name two factors that affect stream velocity: (4) Slope/ Gradient increases: Stream Velocity Increases Draw Picture Kinetic Energy (moving) Increases; Particle Size increases. Where do rivers move fastest? At the Source (upstream). Draw picture Discharge/Volume of Water Inc. Stream Velocity nc. Draw Picture ( what could happen to increase the amount of water ina river? Rainfall, Snowmelt in Spring...) Kinetic Energy Increases Particle Size Increases {As Stream Velocity Inc; Sediment Size Inc. ESRT p. 6 Erosion - Transport, movement of weathered sediments by water, wind, ice, gravity. Deposition - Dropping of sediments. Terminology’ Settling Rate- Speed/Rate at which dediments settle/ fall Settling Time- Time it takes sediments to settle é “** High Rate = Low Time LN ane What factors affect deposition? Particle size, shape and density. Larger, More Dense, Round Sediment is depositied FIRST. 1. Particle Size {As paticle size increases, settling rate increases. 2. Particle Shape As particle shape gets rounder, settling rate increases, & \ 3, Density As density increases, settlin rate increases. \ Je Bodheee Sorti In water sediments are deposited in a well-sorted manner, with larger, dense sediments on the bottom. Vertical sorting: Orw picture ofcotumn fl -
