increased and is presenting a much more complex and less controllable problem for us all. Non-point source pollution is caused by run-off. It occurs when water runs over the land picking up pollutants and then flows into our lakes‚ rivers‚ and streams contaminating the water. Since the resulting contamination can’t be seen‚ and the actual point of origin is unknown‚ it’s much more difficult to control and eradicate. In addition‚ most people tend to discount what they are unable to see‚ which means

Deltas are landform comprised of sediments (sand‚ clay‚ silt‚ gravel) found at the mouth of the river‚ where the river enters a standing body of water (lake‚ pond‚ reservoir‚ or ocean). Herodotus‚ a Greek Historian‚ considered by many as the “Father of History”‚ studied this great geologic feature. He is credited with coining the term “delta” for this is type of landform because of its triangular shape reminded him of the Greek letter Δ (delta). Delta Formation Delta forms when river carrying

In this Geography GCSE controlled assessment project‚ I will be focusing on rivers and I have chosen a hypothesis to prove that erosion is making an impact on the Loughton Brook Rivers. My hypothesis is‚ “The river Loughton brook becomes wider and deeper due to erosion as it moves downstream”. I will be investigating if erosion takes place downstream in the river. I will investigate if hydraulic action has an impact. I will study about vertical erosion‚ lateral erosion‚ Cross profile and hydraulic
