Journey of a pebble
Texto do Storyboard
- This is Alina, Alina was once part of a block of a path. One day, a large hurricane chipped off a large chunk of a roadside nearby, with the power of weathering (and the wind), it successfully broke off a large boulder of rock. Alina, along with her friends, fell into a large river and began their journey down a river.
- Soon enough, they arrived at a waterfall that led them down a tributary. They fell into the water with a large splash and the high velocity of the river carried its load at such a large pace, that traction was taking place along the riverbed, the force of gravity pulled down the boulder and eventually, the large load separated into about 13 rocks.
- The tributary joined the main river channel at a confluence. The sediment was large but not large enough for it to sink. Instead, saltation happened, the friction of the river along with the riverbank caused a drastic change on Alina. She went from being a large, heavy boulder to being a some-what smooth rock.
- The journey was still proceeding, but out of nowhere, came a large quick turn. The force of the river washed over the river bank and the drainage basin making the hydraulic action cause corrosion and abrasion to happen.
- The river calmed down and slowly made its way towards the mouth, after a long journey of attrition, the solution was quite fine but Alina was the only large, solid, smooth object by far.
- Finally, they had arrived at the mouth of the river and Alina with her friends (or what remains of them), were carefully deposited near an estuary where they ended one journey but started another.
