| Stream table with standard flow of water and no slope |
What landforms do you notice in these pictures? The sand/clay mixture represented the Colorado Plateau. Do you see the canyon? Can you identify the delta? In our investigation, we learned the wearing away of earth materials
caused by the forces of water, have changed the shape of the earth's surface overtime. We also learned that the flow of water changes the land by moving eroded earth particles downstream which then carve steep valleys and canyons, as well as forms plains and deltas along the way.
How does steeper slopes affect the rate of erosion and deposition? How does a flood affect the rate of erosion and deposition? We will soon find out!
