Moving Water Shapes Land
7
Streams Shape Earths Surface

• The land is always higher than the water.
• Water always runs downhill
• This shapes the land by erosion and deposition

8
Drainage Basins and Divides

• Drainage basin- area of land in which water
  drains into a stream system
• Divide-ridge from which water drains to one side
  or the other

Drainage basin
Divide
9
Streams
Streams form

• Stream is any body of water that flows down a
  slope along a channel.
• Streams form from melting snow/ice or rainwater
  fall

10
Streams
11
Valleys

• Valleys are formed as streams flow and carry
  sediment from the surface of the land.
• This occurs in high areas and create V-shaped,
  straight, and narrow valleys

Valleys
13
Floodplain

• Area of land on either side of a stream that is
  underwater when the stream floods.
• When streams flood a lot of the sediment carries
  by the stream is deposited in the floodplain.
• They are very fertile

Floodplain
14
Floodplains
15
Stream Channels

• As land flattens, streams and rivers widen and
  take curvier paths
• Meanders-curves and bends that form a twisting,
  looping pattern in a stream channel
• Moving water erodes the outside bank and deposits
  sediment inside the banks
• May shift position over many years
• Oxbow lakes- may form during floods where the
  stream may cut a new channel to bypass a meander.

18
Delta

• Area of land formed by the buildup of sediment at
  the end (mouth) of a river
• When a river enters an ocean, the water slows
  down and the river drops much of its sediment
• This sediment gradually builds up to form a plain
  (can be fan shaped and extremely large)

19
Delta
20
Deltas
21
Alluvial Fans

• A fan-shaped deposit of
• sediment at the base of
• a mountain
• Forms when streams
• leave steep valleys and enter flatter plains
• Fan is created when a stream slows down at the
  base and drops some of its sediment at the base
  of the slope

22
Water Moving Underground

• Water can soak into the ground and become
  groundwater
• Beneath the soil space can become completely
  filled with water.
• Top of this area is the water table
• Below water table is groundwater
• Water table is different according to time and
  location-can change

23
Watertable
24
Caverns

• Erosion takes place with this moving underground
  water.
• Acidic rainwater can dissolve and carry away
  rocks that contain limestone.
• Over time, open spaces are produced-CAVES!
• Large caves are called caverns
• Sink holes are formed when the roof of a cave is
  too thin to support the weight on the surface
