WEATHERING,+EROSION+AND+DEPOSITION

WEATHERING, EROSION & DEPOSITION

This page is designed to help you prepare for the upcoming retest on Weathering, erosion and deposition. The quizlet is always a good use of time. Try the online quiz, as well. Below that, I've grouped the resources on weathering, erosion and deposition according to topic. I've set in bold the resources I feel are most important. You can prepare for the retest without going to the other non-bolded resources (including powerpoints), but it is suggested you check them out for further understanding.


 * Here is the original study guide handed out for the test given earlier in the grading period**

__ STREAM EROSION AND DEPOSITION __

Complete guide to running water - definitions and diagrams (excellent block diagrams comparing common drainage patterns) http://geophysics.ou.edu/geol1114/notes/running_water/running_water.html

What to study: - definition of stream - distinguish between perennial, intermittent and ephemeral - understand laminar and turbulent flow - factors controlling stream flow - changes in stream factors along stream (focus on diagram) - Valley development - distinguish between youthful, mature and old age - Understand the concept of drainage basin (also called "watershed") recognize the different drainage patterns





animation: evolution of a meandering stream - showing cut banks and point bars http://www.wiley.com/college/strahler/0471480533/animations/ch17_animations/animation1.html
 * STREAM EVOLUTION **

animation: stream evolution - from narrow to wide floodplain - formation of oxbow lake http://www.colby.edu/personal/w/wasulliv/Flash%20animations/Lecture%2014%20streams%20floods/OxbowLakeV2.swf

Niagara Falls animation 1 http://geosphere.gsapubs.org/content/suppl/2009/02/13/2.3.113.DC1/00012-Animation03.gif Niagara Falls animation 2 (shows the locations of the falls over time due to headward erosion) http://geosphere.gsapubs.org/content/suppl/2009/02/13/2.3.113.DC1/00012-Animation04.gif
 * NIAGARA FALLS AND HEADWARD EROSION **
 * There is a question about Niagara Falls. The below two animations are worth watching. Understand headward erosion and how the falls undercuts the weaker Salina formation at the base of the falls as the more resistant Lockport Dolomite protects it.**
