Erosion and deposition are important processes in shaping Earth's surface, and not only Earth's but also Mars. We'll stick to Earth, though.
Erosion is our new concern, and we learned four different agents of erosion today. What are they? We noted that Marcus Landslide in our very own McDowell Mountains is a notable local example of erosion which occurred about 550,000 years ago. And as we know, boulders still tumble down hills and mountains from time to time. And then there are floodplains, a source of concern and some controversy here in Scottsdale and Phoenix. We'll have more to say about that. Assignments:
