Intro to Geology of Earth Science - Freshman levels

Characters of main river types and sorting

Stand alone exercise

Understand stream energy and sediment size

Last question is to evaluate a novel situation of explaining energy levels as illustrated in a fining-upwards rock.

Identify grain size to river type (stream, meandering, braided).
Identify sediment size in other depositional settings (lake, ocean, beach etc.).

Students read the texbook on river types and in addition become acquinted with river types in lexture class. They are required to apply their knowledge from the previous chapter on grain size in sedimentary rocks determined by energy levels to river energy. The excerise itself, leads them through a series of steps from grain size in different river types, to sediment sizes in different depostionl settings (deep marine, glacier, lakes, beach) in order from them to apply their knowledge to actual settings.

Grading multiple choice and a final question that requires a short answer.
