Three Ways River Reshapes Its Land
The 3 ways a river reshapes its land is by a Delta, Oxbow Lake, & a Meander. The Delta is caused when the river is trying to get to a open body of water but there is land blocking the way so erosion from the water breaks the sand and it gets through but not all the sand will get through there is always a piece of the land left called the Delta. Now the Oxbow lake is when there is a river and it has a turn that goes up to the other side and then the river will start pushing against the part before the curve and the river will start want to go that way. So then the water source will go the way the way before the curve so then it will that going that way and soon there will be no more water going to the curve and it will all be going the way

    The river starts at the bottom right hand corner of the image, it goes to the left of the image and then makes a loop back to the right, goes to the middle of the image, and then it make a loop to the left. The river then disappears behind some trees and you can no longer see it. From the base of the mountains on the right of the image you see that the valley leads right to the river, and then there seems to be a sudden drop in the terrain when it reaches the rivers loop in the middle of the image. From that loop of the river we see that there appears to be trees from that sudden drop all along the river on the right side of the image coming towards the bottom of the image. As we look closer to the river we see that there appears to be a sandy “beach” along the river’s edge.…

    The author uses a series of rhetorical devices in the passage such as asyndeton to help communicate his fascination of rivers to the reader. An example of this is “It generates its own internal forces through its size, its sediment load, its depth, variations in its bottom, its ability to cave in the riverbank and slide sideways for miles, and even tidal influences...” (20-23). This example is very useful to our understanding of rivers because it’s very detailed and rich in in facts.…

    The wetlands of Louisiana are part of a deltaic system that is fed by the multiple rivers. Three rivers converge on the Mississippi River as it flows south into the Gulf of Mexico. These rivers courier silt and materials downstream into the wetlands. When materials begin to block different routes the river path will redirect itself. As the sediments change direction and span out new land is formed. This process is known as a delta switching and is responsible for the rich nutrients that support life in the wetlands.…

    All situations and topics have multiple views and perspectives to them. A paradox exhibits contradictory aspects in which there is not either a single good or a bad, positive or negative. In The Artificial River The Erie Canal and the Paradox of Progress, 1817-1862, written by Carol Sheriff, there are many different examples of paradoxes. Towns initially saw the Canal having a negative impact on them, but realized it could help. The Canal provided for faster transportation, but in the case of a crash would take a long time to recover from. Also businessmen benefitted from the Canal, but other lost a lot of money because of it. The Canal provided dramatic change to the upstate New York area. In some cases this change resulted in prosperity and in others it resulted in failure and loss.…
