Transpiration • Evaporation of water from the leaves on a plant
Sublimation- • Changing from a solid straight to a gas
Smaller streams/River that feed into a larger River Higher ground that separates one drainage area (watershed) from another drainage area (watershed The area of land that drains the water to one point The precipitation that flows over the surface of the earth and ends up in the lakes and river The point where the river ends and enters a larger body of water? The part of a river that bends and curves
Causes of Erosion • how steep or flat the river is. • Gradient • the amount of water a river carries at a time • Discharge • the material (sediment) • Load
Effects of Deposition • fan shaped deposit of the sediment from a river in a lake or ocean • Delta • fan shaped deposits of sediment from a river on land • Alluvial Fan • area along a river that forms when the river floods and deposits sediment • Flood Plain
Sunlight reaches all the way to the sediment (bottom) Lots of plants and animals Dominated by plankton – light penetrates Large fish Very dark – Cold – Little to no Life! Bottom – lots of decomposers that feed on dead, decaying material
