    1) Moving water erodes and transports sediments from their original location, depositing them where the force of flowing water becomes too low. Deltas form near river mouths where flowing water enters still bodies. 2) Erosion and deposition can both occur in locations where the force of flowing water changes, such as where a river bends. Erosion occurs on the outside of bends where force is greatest, while deposition is on the inside of bends where force lessens. 3) It is important for people to understand erosion and deposition patterns because they influence land use and development, and can provide insight into environmental changes over time.

    LAB-AIDS KIT #442 - MODELING STREAM EROSION AND DEPOSITION


    Student Worksheet and Guide
    Water plays an important role in creating the landforms found on Earths surface. Moving water can remove and
    transport, or erode, pieces of rock, or sediments from their original location. These eroded sediments are pushed
    along by the moving water, sometimes for many miles and sometimes for only a few millimeters. Where the sediments end up coming to rest, or deposited, depends on the size of the sediments and the force of the flowing water.
    Sediments are deposited in those locations where the force of flow becomes too low to push the sediments any
    further. A delta is a depositional areas near the mouth of a river, where the flowing river enters a non-flowing body
    of water such as a lake or ocean.

    Note: If you have difficulty getting


    rain to fall from the rainmaker, gently
    tap the side of the rainmaker or run a
    fingernail along the bottom of it.

    5.

    Add one 30-mL cup of water to the Rainmaker and observe. Use the space below to sketch the patterns
    produced by the flowing water.
    Point A

    Materials

    Point B

    For the class


    2 bottles of LAB-AIDS Stream Sand
    For each group of students
    1 LAB-AIDS Mini Stream Table
    1 LAB-AIDS Rainmaker
    1 30-mL graduated cup
    1 plastic spoon
    1 plastic cup of water
    paper for covering your work area
    paper towels
    Procedure
    1.

    Cover your work area with one or two layers of paper.

    2.

    Set up your Mini Stream Table as shown in the diagram below:

    3.

    Add three 30-mL cupfuls of dampened Stream Sand to the middle of the stream bed. Use the spoon or your
    fingers to pack the sand into an even layer that covers the stream bed from point A to point B.

    6.

    Add another 30-mL cup of water to the Rainmaker and observe. Use the space below to sketch the patterns
    produced by the flowing water.
    Point A

    Point B

    7.

    Add a third 30-mL cup of water to the Rainmaker and observe. Use the space below to sketch the patterns
    produced by the flowing water.
    Point A

    4.

    There are places where both erosion and deposition can occur. Describe this type of location and explain why
    both erosion and deposition can occur in this type location.

    5.

    Explain why it is important for people to understand and determine where erosion and deposition

    Point B

    a. are occurring today.

    Analysis
    1.

    Describe the major changes that occurred each time 30-mL of rain fell on the stream bed.

    2.

    Where did the greatest amount of erosion occur? Explain why more erosion takes place in this location.

    3.

    Where did the greatest amount of deposition occur? Explain why more deposition takes place in this location.

    b. have occurred in the past.
