1 Monday, November 3 rd Entry Task Decide if the following sentences are true. If they are write them down as is, if they are not correct them. 1.Weathering can be caused by mechanical and chemical processes 2.Soil builds up entirely from weathered rocks. 3.Weathering proceeds most quickly in warm, dry areas. Schedule: 5.1 reading, notes, and questions Homework: 5.1 RSG Objective: I can understand that forces wear down and build up Earth’s surface Please have on your desk Chapter 4 crossword

2 Tuesday, November 4 th Entry Task Answer the following questions using full sentences, IQIA 1.What four things cause erosion of small rock particles? 2.What force causes mass wasting, mudflows, slump and creep? 3.Explain a real life situation where you may have observed erosion 4.Explain a real life situation where you may have observed deposition Schedule: Chapter 5 vocabulary Objective: I can understand important vocabulary terms about erosion and deposition Homework Complete Vocabulary Please have on desk: 5.1 RSG

3 Erosion Deposition Mass wasting Drainage basin Divide Floodplain Alluvial fan Delta Sinkhole Glacier Till Moraine Kettle lake Vocabulary Questions Page 155 #1-6 Use full sentences, IQIA Do in NOTEBOOK

4 Wednesday, November 5 th Entry Task Skim over 5.2 and Answer the following questions using full sentences, IQIA, the best that you can. 1.Explain 3 ways water shapes land. 2.True or False? Water shapes land only on Earth’s surface. If false, rewrite a correct statement. 3.What does slope (how steep) of a hill or mountain have to do with how water shapes it? Schedule: 5.2 Read/RSG Objective: I can identify the different land features made by moving water. Homework 5.2 RSG Please have on desk: Chapter 5 Vocabulary

5 Thursday, November 6 th Entry Task Answer the following question using full sentences, IQIA. 1.Why is fertile land often found on flat land around rivers? 2.Why do caverns form in areas with limestone? 3.What do you call curves and bends in a stream channel? Schedule: 5.2 notes Homework: 5.2 Take home quiz Objective: I can identify the different land features made by moving water. Please have on desk: Chapter 5 vocabulary 5.2 Questions

6 Moving Water Shapes Land

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

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 Valley

12 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.

16 Meanders Oxbow lake Stream Channel

17 MeandersOxbow Lakes

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 it’s 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

26 Sinkholes

30 Friday, November 7 th Entry Task 1.Draw a map of a river. 2.Label the river with an arrow to show its direction of flow. 3.Add three small streams that join the river. 4.Label each stream with an arrow to show it’s direction of flow. 5.What is the difference between a drainage basin and a divide? 6.How do streams change as they flow from mountains down to plains? Schedule: Creating Stream Features Lab Objective: I can understand the process of erosion and deposition Homework Finish the lab packet Please have on desk: 5.2 Take home quiz
