Homework #6.5 earth surface processes Humphrey 2016,

This is a quick homework to be done by Thursday.

1 Run your code for creep processes for a slightly more complex topography (a divide between two small streams).  The streams are at fixed elevations, and we want to watch the ground in between the stream erode way.  The elevations in meters are as follows as x,z pairs: (0,1), (1,1) (2,2) (3,2) (4,2) (5,0) (6,0), where x=0m is the left stream and x=6m is the right stream.  Both streams have fixed elevations (Boundary Conditions).  Use your code with the same ‘C’ as before.  Point x=1 will start to deposit, but will eventually erode: you job is to find out when it erodes below the left hand stream (at which point the right hand stream will capture the left hand!).

2 Compare your time result from question 1, with the time estimate you get from our scaling relationship – T~L2/C
