Please label each picture and descriptions with a number so I can tell which picture goes with which description. Put the URL in the caption for each picture. As usual, it's best to either do the assignment in a word document and paste as you go. If you would like, you may simply put a link to your personal Wiki page to avoid loosing your work as you go.

2. etc. || 1. An alluvial fan occurs when a river is channeled and empties into a valley floor. As soon as the river is able to spread out as it leaves the mountains, it forms a fan shape at the base of the mountain.

2. etc. || 1. Larger particles such as boulders are found toward the mouth of the river at the center of the fan because there is a rapid decrease in energy of the stream as the river meets the valley floor. Particle sizes decrease with distance further away from the mouth.

Tidal flats appear to be barren wastelands but they are highly productive areas that support large numbers of animals.

Reefs are composed of sand and some algae.

The sediment in the continental shelf is mostly sand.

Mostly fine grained sediments like sand.

Abyssal Plains are mostly formed of clay and silt. || []
