  1. Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Creep, and Riverbeds By Kelli

  2. WeatheringRevolutionary Cemetery,WestfieldApril 27, 4:30 - 5:30 pm This picture shows where weathering has occurred. Wind and rain have worn down the gravestone over time. Temperature, ice, and snow have also slowly weathered the gravestone.

  3. Erosion - WaterTamaques Park, Westfield,April 27, 4:30 - 5:30 pm This picture shows where water has eroded the sides of the stream. The tree’s roots are exposed and the tree is hanging over the eroded area. This is an example of physical erosion because the land is worn away, but the material has not changed.

  4. DepositionTamaques Park, Westfield,April 27, 4:30 - 5:30 pm This picture shows deposited sediments. Sticks, dirt, rocks, leaves, and other sediments have fallen and been blown down the hill. They have been deposited here, where it has accumulated over time.

  5. CreepTamaques Park, Westfield,April 27, 4:30 - 5:30 This picture shows an example of creep. Soil is slowly moving downhill. This is causing trees and other plants to lean downhill. Some other objects have even fallen to the bottom of the hill as a result of this movement.

  6. RiverbedTamaques Park, Westfield,4:30 - 5:30 pm In the center of this picture is a riverbed. The riverbed you see was once occupied by a stream or river. You can tell that it was a fast-flowing river because the riverbed is straight, with V-shaped sides.
