My Beginning:
From Mountain to Sea
My journey started in the mountains. There was a terrible
thunderstorm. The rain washed many of my friends away.
I held fast to the rock that I had been a part of for several
millennium.
Weathering
● Physical/Mechanical
– Frost Wedging
– Plant Roots

Erosion
● Moving Sediment from
Place to Place
I found myself
hurtling down the hill.
Bits of me were
breaking off! I finally
came to a mountain
stream. The stream
carried me on further.
Landslide
As my journey
continued, more of my
fellows joined the
stream. There had
been a landslide due
to the night of heavy
rains. The stream was
brown with sediment.
Runoff
As the journey continued,
water from the storm, in
the form of runoff, made
the stream swell to the
size of a huge river!
Transport
The trip continued. We
left the mountains
behind as we were
transported. Who
knew where we would
all end up?
Transport
The answer to that
question was quickly
answered. Some of my
bigger friends started
coming to a rest as we
left the mountains. I
waved goodbye to
them because I knew
I'd miss them, not
because I'm a fan of
aluvium.
Deposition
We continued on.
The river slowed.
Some of us got
distracted and
stopped along a
curve in the river. I
did not, though. I
never did get the
point of bars.
Deposition
Finally! Just a few of
my smaller friends
and I reached the end
of the line. The surf
was up at the beach.
The waves pushed
against the river and
everything came to a
standstill. Never had I
been delta blow like
this before.
