If Death Valley was located in an area with a lot of rainfall, how would the valley floor change? How would Death Valley change? Thanks!
Answered by Ms. Sue
Since Death Valley is 282 feet below sea level, what do you think would happen to the valley floor if it had a lot of rainfall?

Answered by Charlie
I think sediment would build up on the valley floor and raise the elevation. And a lot more vegetation would grow. Am I close?
Answered by Ms. Sue
Why wouldn't it fill with water?
Answered by Ms. Sue
Where would the sediment come from?
Answered by Charlie
Wouldn't the ground soak up the water? The sediment would come from the surrounding mountains.
