these are slow moving; only shifting a few centimetres a year. Landslides can produce a lot of river sediment. Most of the entering the rivers in New Zealand are caused by landslides. In March 1988‚ Cyclone Bola hit the East Coast. The landslides that started because of this produced over 20 million tonnes (64%) of the sediment of the Waipāoa River. However in the long term only 10-20% of the sediment in rivers in New Zealand is caused by landslides. Green lake The largest landslide ever recorded

Task question In my task question I am going to study why does the velocity vary downstream? To carry out this investigation we will be going to Carding Mill valley; carding mill valley is located near the border of Wales‚ North West England in Shropshire. (This can be seen on image 1) (Image 1) (Image 1) This means we are collecting primary data which is mainly so we can get accurate and reliable set of results. In order to answer the task question

surface under the lake is buried deeply. Geophysical studies in both Watkins Glen and Geneva show that a wide mass of glacial deposits fills the rock valley which forms Seneca Lake. There are as much as 150-200 meters in each basin of glacial-lake sediments. This entire mass was in place by 12‚000 years ago. At the same time‚ deltas have been built at several different locations along the shore and a large amount of stream deposits have been poured in to form both the alluvial fans (Halfman‚ 5). One

Indian Institute of Management Indore Towards the Strategic Transformation of Gujarat State Road Transport Corporation INTRODUCTION Gujarat State Road Transport Corporation (GSRTC)‚ the State Transport Undertaking (STU) of Gujarat‚ came into existence on the 1st of May‚ 1960 as a result of bifurcation and rearrangement of the states‚ post independence. Over the next five decades‚ it grew from a modest beginning with 7 divisions‚ 76 depots‚ 7 divisional workshops and 1767 buses to 16 divisions

volume of water in the river (because of tributaries flowing into the river and surface run off) and less energy is used overcoming the lesser friction of the smoother less angular bedload. There is more transportation of material‚ and more suspended sediment. The bedload is smaller and more rounded as it has been subjected to more erosion (namely attrition or corrosion). The main feature seen is the meander. Meander These are bends that form when the slope of a river

Weathering & Erosion Weathering is the process that produces change in the surface of rocks exposed to the atmosphere and/or hydrosphere. Physical weathering is breaking rock by force. ex: hitting‚ scratching‚ cracking Frost action (AKA ice wedging)- Water seeps into small cracks in rocks. When the water freezes it expands creating great pressure. The crack widens and allows water to seep deeper into the rock. (Robert Frost’s Mending Wall makes a reference to a frost heave
