5.2 Questions
Moving Water Shapes Land
Streams Shape Earth’s Surface
• The land is always
higher than the water.
• Water always runs
downhill
– This shapes the land
by erosion and
deposition
Drainage Basins and Divides
• Drainage basin- area
of land in which water
drains into a stream
system
• Divide-ridge from
which water drains to
one side or the other
Drainage basin
Divide
Streams
• Stream is any body of
water that flows down
a slope along a
channel.
• Streams form from
melting snow/ice or
rainwater fall
Streams
form
Streams
Valleys
• Valleys are formed as
streams flow and
carry sediment from
the surface of the
land.
• This occurs in high
areas and create Vshaped, straight, and
narrow valleys
Valley
Valleys
Floodplain
• Area of land on either
side of a stream that
is underwater when
the stream floods.
• When streams flood a
lot of the sediment
carries by the stream
is deposited in the
floodplain.
• They are very fertile
Floodplain
Floodplains
Stream Channels
• As land flattens, streams and rivers widen and
take curvier paths
• Meanders-curves and bends that form a twisting,
looping pattern in a stream channel
– Moving water erodes the outside bank and deposits
sediment inside the banks
– May shift position over many years
• Oxbow lakes- may form during floods where the
stream may cut a new channel to bypass a
meander.

Oxbow Lakes
Delta
• Area of land formed by the buildup of
sediment at the end (mouth) of a river
• When a river enters an ocean, the water
slows down and the river drops much of its
sediment
• This sediment gradually builds up to form
a plain (can be fan shaped and extremely
large)
Delta
Deltas
Alluvial Fans
• A fan-shaped deposit of
sediment at the base of
a mountain
• Forms when streams
leave steep valleys and enter flatter plains
• Fan is created when a stream slows down
at the base and drops some of it’s
sediment at the base of the slope
Water Moving Underground
• Water can soak into the ground and
become groundwater
• Beneath the soil space can become
completely filled with water.
– Top of this area is the water table
– Below water table is groundwater
• Water table is different according to time
and location-can change
Watertable
Caverns
• Erosion takes place with this moving
underground water.
• Acidic rainwater can dissolve and carry
away rocks that contain limestone.
• Over time, open spaces are producedCAVES!
– Large caves are called caverns
• Sink holes are formed when the roof of a
cave is too thin to support the weight on
the surface
