Consider the following diagram of a river flowing through a landscape. A rain storm causes a
large amount of water to flow through the river in a very short time.
Y
Z
X
Key
X points to the outside of the curve where the
water runs faster.
Y points to the inside of the curve where the
water runs slower.
Z points to the mouth of the river where it
empties into the ocean.
Which size sediments would you most likely find at each location, X,Y, and Z? Explain why.
