Last week we started learning about weathering, erosion and deposition. Weathering is the process that breaks down rock and other material at Earth's surface. Erosion moves weathered material from one place to another. Deposition is the process where sediment is set down at a new location. (Go Team!)
Running water is the dominant process that shapes the landscape, including California's topography. We modeled erosion by rivers in class. Students were able to observe oxbow lakes, alluvial fans and deltas. Check out the pictures below.
