Choose one of the questions below and answer in the comments box. Be sure to put the number of the question you are answering!

1. A harmless yellow dye was put in a small mountain stream. Several days later, the dye appeared further down the mountain in a river 10 miles away. What is the relationship between the mountain stream and the river?

2. During a heavy rainstorm, water rushed down the streets in a town and quickly raised the level of water in the river water. Would you describe the slope of the land the town is built on as steep or level with the river? Was the river fed by runoff after the storm or by groundwater? Explain your choices.

3. How does water movement shape the land?
