1 Erosion Land Forms

2 Moving water causes erosion. The force of water hitting the ground can loosen materials. Moving water carries particles with it.

3 Runoff Moving water across land.

4 Rills and Gullies Rill- small groove formed by moving water Gully- larger groove; formed by moving water Both of these only carry water after it rains

5 Stream and Rivers Stream-Rarely dry up, continually moving water (creeks) Rivers- larger body of moving water.

6 Runoff- 5 factors Amount of water available Vegetation Soil Type Land shape Influence of populations In general, more runoff, more erosion.

7 Landforms Created by Rivers/deposition Alluvial fan-fan shaped deposit of sediments as a moving body of water slows down

8 Landforms Created by Rivers/deposition Delta-deposit of sediments where a moving body of water enters another body and slows down

9 Identify the following by term a. meander b. gully c. rill d. stream

10 Identify the following by term a.oxbow b.meander c.alluvial fan d.delta

11 Identify the following by term a.oxbow b.meander c.alluvial fan d.delta

12 How will this affect runoff? a.Large amount b.Moderate amount c.Small amount

13 How will this affect runoff?
