Drainage - review: geologists recognize several types of networks on the basis of the map pattern, dendritic radial rectangular trellis parallel, a drainage divide separates one watershed from another. Erosion transport deposition (review: streams erode by scouring, breaking and lifting, abrasion, and dissolution, sediments are then transported as dissolved load, suspended load, or bed load, competence (the ability to carry sediment) depends on flow velocity. And where the velocity decreases, deposition occurs: competence the maximum size transported. Ch 15 restless reams oceans and coasts11/27/2012 10:06:00 pm.
