Unit 1 Lesson 3:
Erosion and Deposition by Water

How does water change Earth's surface?

By the end of this lesson, students should be able to relate the processes of erosion and deposition by water to the landforms that result from these processes.

These are images from the limestone caves of Pennsylvania!
Consider...
1. What might have caused these caves to form?
2. How did water contribute to their formation?

How does flowing water change Earth's Surface?

The movement of sediment from one place to another is called erosion.

Erosion

Rivers and streams erode soil, rock and sediment .

Multiple Select

What are the four agents of erosion and deposition?

wind

clouds

water

gravity

ice

Gradient

Stream Load

Discharge

Open Ended

Why would some streams and rivers cause more erosion and deposition than others?

Type response here

Channel - A path a stream wears and flows down.

Eventually, canyons and valleys will form.

A flat area formed from many layers of deposited sediment when a river runs over its banks. This can signal the age of a river valley with the older being flatter with many meanders and oxbow lakes.
