    STREAM EROSION

    How do water and its movement affect a streambed?

    What are some of the things that affect the way water flows in a stream?

    how the sand moved in the steeper stream versus the lesser slope?

    Tell how the sand moved with the smaller bottle of water versus the larger bottle of water.

    Tell how the sand moved with a fast pulse versus a regular pour of water.

    What can people do to protect their streams from flashfloods?


    Weathering, Erosion, and Deposition
    The surface of the Earth is constantly changing. The three
    processes known to shape our Earth are: Weathering (W),
    Erosion (E), and Deposition (D). When distinguishing between
    WED, consider the following clue words to help organize the
    cards below.
    Once all cards have been placed, highlight the agents/causes
    in each square.
    Weathering – Break Erosion – Move Deposition - Build

    Weathering Erosion Deposition


    Acid rain Rainwater carrying away water from Waves Dropping sand ashore forming

    Directions: Cut each square below and sort them as
    Weathering, Erosion, or Deposition. Now, paste each of
    the squares according to where they belong.
