As always, I am here to help with any questions.Slide2
5. a. Why do rivers meander??
We looked at this in lab.

Please describe and explain what happened, especially highlighting the feedback between. Feel free to pull data and pictures from your lab work to explain.
Channel geometry and flow fields
Flow fields, sediment transport fields and topography.Slide3
5. b. What is the difference between a sinuous channel and a meandering channel? Slide4
6. a. Based on what you know about rivers and submarine channels- can you hypothesize about how submarine channels develop sinuosity?
A portion of the sinuous Amazon submarine channels Slide5
6. b. What are 2 KEY differences to keep in mind while comparing turbidity currents that sculpt submarine channels and flows that
scuplt
river channels?Slide6
6. c. Explain the shape of vertical velocity profiles in terrestrial rivers and turbidity currents in submarine channels.
Downstream Velocity (m/s)
Elevation Above the Bed (m)
Downstream Velocity (m/s)
Elevation Above the Bed (m)Slide7
6. d. Can you guess at what the shape of a velocity profile through a laminar debris flow should look like? Explain your reasoning.
