Document Summary
Quiz in-class tuesday on sessions 14, 15, 16. Oyo proposal also due that night (it can be submitted a second time if you want to change it - she will grade most recent one you submit) Our focus now is on carving out the landscape (mass wasting - removing materials from slopes; rivers taking sediment/material and transport it eventually to the oceans) Before, we discussed how the landscape is built up. Braided vs. meandering: braided has water more broadly distributed over many channels. True of false: ultimate base level will only change with tectonic activity - false. Shape is controlled by geology and rate of erosion the cut bank the inside of a meander: along the outside of a meander, more than one of these (a & c) Canyon - stream downcuts faster than walls collapse (more competent/stronger geology) Valley - walls collapse as fast as stream downcuts.
