River Erosion Gizmo Gizmo Warm-up
If you stand by the bank of a river, it may seem that very little is
happening. But over thousands and even millions of years,
rivers can have a profound effect on the landscape. In the River
Erosion Gizmo, you will see how rivers move materials and how
they affect landscapes.

To begin, check that Mountain stream and Short-term erosion are selected. The Gizmo
shows a typical stream that is moving through a hilly area.

1. The two movie cameras ( ) allow you to observe different parts of the stream up close.

Click on the left movie camera. What do you see?
