Dear Agony Elephant, I am doing a project about
Burdage Brook and I took some river depth measurements at the top
of the river course and at the middle/bottom of it's course. The
measurements should make the river deeper further down the course
but they do not. Why is this and how can I explain this?
Hi Franchesca,The reason for the differences in
depth could be a result of the geology of the area. Further up stream
(towards the source) the bed rock may be 'softer' and therefore
less resistant to erosion, compared to the bed rock further along
its course. Try finding a geological map of the area to find out
the nature of the underlying rock!....Hope this helps
