Example from river lab analysis: this was question 9 we did in class together

What happens to the rock that once filled up the canyon?

The rock that once filled up the canyon was weathered (broken) and eroded (moved) down the river. The river flows downhill and moves quickly. The force of the moving water picks up the rocks and moves them. All the weathered sediments eventually end up in a big body of water, possibly forming a delta. This is what happens to rocks that once filled the canyon.

Activity 7: Cutting Canyons and Building Deltas

Analysis Questions:

1. Define delta

A delta is a fan shaped river landform that develops when sediments are deposited. (Deposition)

2. Define erosion

Erosion is the removal of sediments from an area.

3. Define deposition

Deposition is sediments that settle out of flowing water.

4. Define weathering.

Weathering is an earth process that breaks down rocks into smaller pieces.

5. Why did a delta form?

The delta formed because there was fast moving water that pushed the sand to the bottom to make a delta where it was flat. The flat catch basin had still not moving water.

6. Why did the sand “fall out” of the river?

The sand “fell out of the river” because the water stopped flowing downhill when the catch basin was flat. The bottom of the river is where the delta formed.

7. Can rainfall change the shape of the land?

Rainfall changes the shape of land by force and weathering. Weathering is breaking apart rocks/soil and erosion is moving those broken pieces. The heavy rains will flow into a puddle or go down a hill and can change the land. If the land is flat, rain can cause flooding.

8. How does water flowing down river create a canyon?

Water flowing down river creates a canyon by the fast waters of the river cause the rocks to weather and break. Then the rocks/sediments get carried by the moving water and keep flowing down the river. The rocks on the side break and it forms the canyon with the river at the bottom. More erosion causes the canyon to get deeper and bigger.

9. What happens to the rock that once filled up the canyon?

The rock that once filled up the canyon was weathered (broken) and eroded (moved) down the river. The river flows downhill and moves quickly. The force of the moving water picks up the rocks and moves them. All the weathered sediments eventually end up in a big body of water, possibly forming a delta. This is what happens to rocks that once filled the canyon.

10. How does the movement of sediments (EROSION) help make a cliff?

The movement of sediments, or erosion, makes cliffs. At the ocean, there are large waves and stronger winds, especially during a storm. Without a jetty or pier, the waves will slam into the land and eventually erode away the sediments forming a beach below and a cliff on the land. This is commonly found in Cape Cod and coastal beach places. This is how moving sediments forms cliffs.
