How does a delta form?

• a river slowing down
• it's just a river that empties into an ocean or lake
• the current of the river speeds up at the mouth causing sediment to wash away
• the current of the river slows down causing sediment to deposit

What continues to shape canyons?

• fast moving water
• slow moving water
• rocks weathering
• rocks eroding

The following are agents of erosion EXCEPT...

• wind
• water
• ice
• fire
