Here are some materials to help you prepare for your River Quest that will take place this week. Please ensure that if you are away due to holiday, sickness, etc., that you communicate with me ahead of time.
To study, take a look at - Ch. 12 & 43 in SG, Videos, Class Handouts & Notes, Powerpoint Slides
River Quest Outline: This is a basic outline for the quest - including 3 possible paragraph questions that may show up. While it's not explicitly stated, you are expected to know the gradational cycle as well (weathering + transport + deposition) and the idea of 'base level'.
Gradational Cycle Intro Powerpoint - This introduces you to the idea of gradation vs. tectonic forces, shows some pictures of the way in which water acts as a gradational agent, and introduces the 'power' of running water.
River Features - Erosion/Deposition & Images Powerpoint - This powerpoint is the one that we discussed in class, and that you took notes on. There is TONS of info here, so keep in mind that we emphasized specific slides in class as being 'more important'. However, this is a good reference sheet.
Why Are Rivers Important for Humans? These are some basic notes that you could use to help prep for the paragraph questions, as well as for some detail regarding the ways in which humans interact with rivers.
River Images + Life Stages + Practice Questions - This handout has some practice questions that may be helpful for you as you review.
River Vocab Practice - Erosion vs. Deposition - more practice and review
Hydroelectricity - the Basics + Micro Dams and Run of the River Dams - Here are questions to help guide you through Chapter 43.
Case Study - Risks to Rivers - Colorado River Case Study - news article
VIDEOS THAT MAY BE HELPFUL:
1. Colorado River - Most Endangered River - "I am Red"
2. Why Do Rivers Curve? - Minute Earth
3. Why Do Rivers Have Deltas? - Minute Earth
4. Planet Earth - Episode - Running Water
5. Human Planet - Episode - Rivers: Friend or Foe
6. A podcast that some might call boring, but does have lots of info if you are confused!
Please let me know if you have any questions, and again, please communicate if you are struggling with your work load this week. No homework for the holiday break!
