2. In a straight part of a stream:

3. In the curve of a stream:

4. Erosion and Deposition (due to running water)
= path of fastest water

5. In which part of the turn is Erosion happening most?

6. In which part of the turn is Deposition happening most?

7. Deposition also happens here (velocity decreases) Called a DELTA.
