River Erosion to Delta: a 3D model for Class 5 Science, covering erosion: fast water on the outside of a bend wears the bank away, transport: the river carries sediment downstream, deposition: sediment drops where the flow slows and loses the ability to carry it, inside of a bend = slow water = deposition (sand bar); outside = fast water = erosion, a river slows as it opens into a sea or lake, so sediment settles near the mouth.
