Erosion Song
EROSION: • Erosion is the transport of sediments around the earth • Erosion is driven by the force of gravity.
THE AGENTS OF EROSION ARE: 1. 2. 3. 4. RUNNING WATER MOVING ICE (GLACIERS) GRAVITY (Mass Movements) WIND
What is the The primary agent of erosion? RUNNING WATER
Colorado River
Grand Canyon
Niagara Falls
Agents Erosion Each agent of erosion produces its own characteristic shape and texture in the sediment.
Erosion by water makes The rock get ROUND and SMOOTH,
EROSION BY WATER: PARTICLES ARE CARRIED IN SEVERAL WAYS DEPENDING ON THEIR SIZE
How do streams transport sediment:
SEDIMENTS that can dissolve are transported IN SOLUTION: Examples: • Salt • Calcite
Dissolved ions in solution
Small SEDIMENTS are transported IN SUSPENSION Examples: • SILT • CLAY
: Large Sediments dragged along the bottom
What determines how large a sediment a stream can erode?
What does the velocity (speed) of the stream depend upon?
VELOCITY OF A STREAM DEPENDS ON: v. SLOPE (gradient) AND v. DISCHARGE (volume of water)
Where does a stream flow the fastest on straight path? (middle, sides, top or bottom) Top View Side of Stream (Stream Bank) Bottom of Stream • • The forces of friction, cohesion and drag all play a role in the streams velocity. Stream velocity is highest in the middle and top. Side of Stream (Stream Bank) Top of Stream
B Maximum erosion occurs where there is maximum velocity _______ C D On a straight path the maximum velocity center is in the ______ surface below the ______ E F
When rivers enter a large body of water their velocity decreases and deposition occurs (depositing of sediments) How are the sediments deposited? Nissequogue enters the Long Island Sound
SEDIMENTS LEFT BEHIND BY STREAMS ARE ____ SORTED dropped off in size order
SORTING
What is the relationship between particle size and water velocity? (SEE REF. TABLE PAGE 6)
Stream Velocity • The Relationship of Transported Sediments to Water Velocity: When velocity of the stream increases the size of the particle eroded increases
CALCULATE THE MINIMUM VELOCITY OF A STREAM NEEDED TO CARRY A PEBBLE (1 cm in size):
(SEE REF. TABLE PAGE 6)
What effect does erosion and deposition have on the stream? It causes the stream to go through stages THE MOVEMENT OF THE WATER CAN EVENTUALLY FORM AN OXBOW LAKE
Young Stream
Mature Stream Oxbow Lake
Old Age Stream
Comparing Young and Old Age Streams • • • Young Narrow V – shaped valley Straight path Steep slopes Fast moving water Waterfalls, rapids • • Mature/Old Age Wide valley Many meanders Low slope Oxbow Lakes
Young Streams create V shape valleys
Old Stream
Why does a stream develop meanders?
Water moves faster on the outside of a bend DEPOSITION (EROSION) Water moves slower on the inside of a bend (DEPOSITION) EROSION

What factors affect deposition rate in a river? Characteristics of the sediment animation • • • Size Shape Density
RATES OF DEPOSITION DEPEND ON: • 1. Particle size: ____ • particles (clay, silt) settle more slowly than larger particles.
2. Particle shape: • ______ between water and the surface of particles _______ settling. • As the surface area ______ the time it takes to settle _____ • The rounder the particle the faster ______ it will deposit.
3. Particle Density: • ______ particles settle faster. •
What is the relationship between settling rate and particle size? Complete the graphs: label each axis Settling rate Particle size Increase
What is the relationship between settling rate and shape? Settling rate Particle gets flatter
What is the relationship between settling rate and density? Settling rate Density increases
What is the relationship between Settling Rate and Settling Time? • As the settling time increases The settling rate Inverse Relationship Settling time
Describe the size, shape and density of a particle that deposits quickly (greatest rate) • A particle that is large, round and dense.
How does the velocity of the transporting medium ( water, wind, ice) affect deposition? • The slower the velocity of the • water the ____ • particles will settle. • It takes longer for particles to settle • in ______ water.
What is horizontal sorting and when does it occur? • animation
• • Horizontal Sorting: a gradual change in the size, shape and density (of deposited particles) when a stream enters a large body of water and slows down.
boulders Horizontal Sorting cobbles Roundest and densest pebbles sand silt Smallest flattest least dense (colloids) clay Precipitation ……………. Ions in ……………. solution
Draw this diagram of horizontal sorting.
What is a delta and how does it form? • A delta is forming where the Nissequogue River meets the Longs Island Sound.
Mississippi River Delta
Nile River Delta
• Delta is a triangle shape feature that forms at the mouth of the river where sediment is deposited
What is vertical sorting? • Animation
Vertical Sorting of particles from bottom to top in a layer. Occurs during flood events or when a landslide falls into a body of water Small Flat Low density Large Round Dense
What is graded bedding and when does it occur? animation • Series of vertical sorting happen over and over again. • Occurs when Landslides happen over and over again. Also when flooding occurs
Graded Bedding: Each layer represents a single event of deposition (3 floods)
