Earth Science Reference Tables Slides
Learning Objectives
Compare and contrast physical and chemical weathering, give examples of each.
Describe the factors that affect weathering rates.
Determine the agent of erosion based on sediment characteristics.
Determine the shape of a stream channel based on the top down view of the stream.
Explain how stream velocity changes with gradient, stream discharge, and stream channel shape.
Determine the size of sediment that can be carried in suspension by a stream based on the streams velocity.
Determine how the characteristics of sediment determine its deposition rate.
Use terms size, density, and shape.
