1. Explain 3 ways water shapes land 1. Explain 3 ways water shapes land. Weathering: water can break down rocks. Erosion: water can move weathered rocks. Deposition: water can deposit eroded rocks in a new location. 2. True or False? Water shapes land only on Earth’s surface. If false, rewrite a correct statement. False. Water shapes land on Earth’s surface and underground 3. What does slope (how steep) of a hill or mountain have to do with how water shapes it? If it is steeper then the water moves faster creating narrow, straight valleys. If it is more flat the water moves slower creating curvier, wider streams and rivers. 4. Why is fertile land often found on flat land around rivers? Floods deposit a lot of sediment onto the floodplain, which makes that land good for growing crops 5. Why do caverns form in areas with limestone? Limestone is a rock that is dissolved by acid in rainwater. 6. What do you call curves and bends in a stream channel? Meanders

Wednesday, December 7th Entry Task On ISN 95 Explain what features formed and what happened to the sediment on your stream table if the water was moving slow during Yesterday’s lab. Explain any additional stream features you created during your lab. How do you know that you observed erosion and deposition during your lab. Thoroughly explain.
