  3. How do you think the construction of urban features such as roads, parking lots, buildings, and housing affects erosion by water? What other things do we do as a society that affects erosional or depositional processes?
  4. Close your eyes and imagine you are walking up a glacial valley. As you stroll from the bottom to the top of the valley, what features might you see that were caused by the presence of a glacier? What might the valley have looked like before glaciation?
