3. Schematically showing what grading would result in an "avulsion"
Identifying where what change in topography would result in an "avulsion". There are multiple right answers, we only need one correct one for credit. You do not need to "do the grading" (i.e. specify contours).

4 pts
Two correctly identified diagonal bars.
At least two correctly identified diagonal bars and reasonable stages.
