Geog. 12 Sept. 23 - River Systems

 Today in Geog 12 we reviewed the glaciation sheet and added some definitions to the diagram on the third page from Earth Matters text book p. 134.  We then turned our attention back to river systems (specifically erosion and transportation)and took some notes and did some reading in Earth Matters to reinforce our learning from our notes.  We read pp. 116-118 (up to Underground River Landscapes) to also help our understanding.

Here are a couple of diagrams to help you out with the processes:
