Understanding River Erosion and Stream Dynamics

Explore the various types of river erosion, such as bedload, solution, and suspension, and learn how these processes transport materials along riverbeds. Discover important terms related to stream dynamics, including discharge, speed, and carrying power. Understand the significance of topographical features like divides and river valley steepness, and how they influence water flow. This overview also highlights the implications of river dynamics on forming geographical features like lakes and the ecological impact of water flow on the environment.

  1. Running Water

  2. This type of erosion tumbles material along the bottom of a river. • This type of erosion involves material that is in solution. • This type of erosion involves material that is carried in the current of the stream. • This is the term that describes the amount of water in a stream. • This is the term that describes the rate of flow of a stream. • This term describes the POWER of a stream. • This is high land that separates one river valley from another. • A steep river valley is a sign of a river that is (young / old). • Water that falls on the eastern side of the Great Continental Divide will either evaporate or end up in the (Atlantic / Pacific). • If a meandering stream develops a cutoff, an __________ lake may form.
