The River Conwy - erosion and deposition

The River Conwy in North Wales flows through Snowdonia. In the past, the valleys of Snowdonia were carved out by vast ice sheets. Today, flowing water shapes the landscape. Freeze-thaw weathering creates scree slopes and the energy from rivers erodes the ground. Further downstream deposition takes place and, over time, the landscape becomes transformed.
