The S3 geography class took advantage of the good weather to investigate their local stretch of the River Ken. The group set about answering two questions:
- At what stage upper, middle or lower is the River Ken at Dalry?
- What processes are taking place in the River Ken at Dalry?
Through close observation of the river, its sediments and the surrounding landscape the group were able to ascertain that the river was most likely in its middle course. Evidence of attrition, abrasion, hydraulic action, fluvial sorting, deposition and braiding were also observed. Well done S3 geographers!
