In the field, we first measured the velocity of the water flow in the river. Here, my task was to measure out the distance of 10m between points A and B using a measuring tape. Then, I held the ranging rod at Point B and threw the tennis ball into the river. At the same time another girl was using a stop watch to time the tennis ball as it travels between the two points. We then repeated the procedure 5 times and calculated the mean time by dividing the distance of 10m by the time to get the mean speed in meters per seconds. Finally, we used Bergs Classification of Speed to determine the state of the river’s flow. We then repeated this process in the upper course site to see and compare if the river’s velocity was the same or had radically changed. After that, our findings were then recorded on our worksheet. Another gathering of information that we did was bedload analysis. Here, we gathered 10 random samples of rocks from the river bed and measured each sample along its axis with a meter stick. My personal task was to classify the rocks using the Power’s Angularity Chart and after returning the rocks to the riverbed in order to minimize damage to river life, I then worked out the mean size and the mean class for each rock. These findings were again recorded in our worksheet. Finally, the last gathering of information task we did was calculating the discharge. To do this we had to calculate the cross-section of the river first. To calculate the cross- section we used a measuring tape to measure the width of the river. Then using the meter stick we had to record the depth of each 50cm interval across the river. My individual task in this was to calculate the mean depth in metres and to calculate the cross sectional area. To calculate the cross sectional area, I multiplied the width of the river by the mean depth. Then after that I calculated this, I then proceeded to work out the discharge. To do this, I multiplied the cross-sectional area by the velocity in metres per second (m/sec). We then recorded this on our worksheet. Equally we recorded our gathering processes on camera, sketch maps, worksheets and photographs for later recall in the classroom. (393 words)

We first measured velocity at the upper and middle course. In the upper course the mean speed was 0.38 and looking at Bergs Classification of Speed, it was classified as moderate while in the lower course the mean speed was 0.23 and looking at Berg’s Classification of Speed it was classified as slow. In conclusion, we can see that the river flows quicker in the upper course than the lower course. After that, we picked 10 random rocks on the riverbed to analyze. In the upper course the mean class of the rocks was 3.3 and in the lower course the mean class was 5.2. This can lead us to the conclusion that the river has worn down its load and by the time it reaches the lower course abrasion and attrition have taken place so therefore the rocks are rounded and a lot more smoother. The next experiment we did after that was to calculate the Cross-section of the river. In order to do this, we had to calculate the Cross-Sectional Area by multiplying the width of the river by the mean depth. In the upper course site we multiplied the width of 3.5 by the mean depth of .13 and we got the cross-sectional area of .46m squared. For the lower course, we multiplied the width of 9.2 by the mean depth of .15 and got the cross-sectional area of 1.38m squared. In conclusion, we can see that the river has a bigger mean depth in the lower than upper course because it is in the lower course that a river does most of its transporting and wearing down of load. Then using this information we had from the getting the cross-section of the river we then had to calculate the discharge. To do this, we used the Cross-sectional area we got from the previous experiment and multiplied it by the velocity. For the upper course we multiplied 0.46m squared by 0.38 m/sec to get the answer of 0.17m cubed per sec. then for the lower course site we multiplied the cross-sectional area of 1.38m squared by .23 m/sec to get 0.32 m cubed per second. So In conclusion, from the results above we can see that the river flows more in the upper than the lower course.Evaluation: I were to measure the river velocity again , I would throw the tennis ball 5 more times making the amount of time it has been thrown 10 in order to get a more accurate result than the one we got when we only repeated the experiment 5 timesUndertaking the measuring tasks on the river gave me a better understanding of the fluvial processes instead of studying it in a classroom environmentIf were to do the beadload analysis again I would use a quadrat for picking up the rocks in order to ensure a more random selection of rocks rather than personal preferencesI was overall happy with the results produced by the investigation because they fitted my original hypotheses about the geomorphic processes of Transportation and Deposition in a fluvial environment.‏ me ‎20‎:‎10 im using info on interent to help me‏ Bestie(Zainab) ‎20‎:‎11 there u go nd ok i trust u bby gurll ;)‏ oh yea also use ur book like its was helpfull for certain parts and some of it is acctually really good and that is where i got my concls from‏ me ‎20‎:‎15 Idont have my vook‏ Book‏ I forgot it in my locker ;(‏ ‎21‎:‎38 OMG‏ U knoe teetee‏ Shes not writing the thing‏ She's just going to give out what miss call out in class‏ ‎21‎:‎39 Shes just going to do her gathering information‏ ‎21‎:‎41 Nooo not even write it it out‏ Bestie(Zainab) ‎21‎:‎41 R U SERIOS‏ WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW‏ me ‎21‎:‎41 She will just give her what she took down in class‏ Bestie(Zainab) ‎21‎:‎41 wooooooow‏ me ‎21‎:‎41 Staple it‏ & just doo her gathering lool‏ ‎21‎:‎42 Hardly why would I send it to her loool‏ Looool‏ She was like sure thats what bevy is doing‏ I was like soo what are u going to doo when u write up ur rl thing‏ Bestie(Zainab) ‎21‎:‎43 wtf is she thinking like does she definately want a d or does she wnt them 2 not mark her cuz u knoe tht some other people r gonna jus write waht mis miller said especially the ordinary level ppl and if tht happens tht wil be really bad‏ ‎21‎:‎44 like imagine if her and like5 other girls hae excatly thr same thing nd then they say non of thtem can do a state exam for the next 3 yrs‏ like this shit could get very serious very quickly‏ omfd i just dont understand why she is soo lazy‏ ‎21‎:‎45 like sure ur in the same position as her as in like u dnt hav a lot of the project done yet but at least ur trying to do urs now but she has all the resouces and she jus choses not to do it like wooooooooow‏ ‎21‎:‎56 hi daddy, its zainab.
