Rivers carve distinctive landforms as they flow across the landscape. A V-shaped valley forms as water erodes downward through resistant rock. Waterfalls occur where the river flows over resistant bedrock and erodes more quickly downstream. Gorges are deep ravines carved by rivers through plateaus over long periods of erosion. Rivers meander back and forth across their floodplains over time, eventually cutting off tight bends and forming oxbow lakes.

Braided channels
A braided channel consists of a network of smaller interconnected channels separated by small, temporary islands called eyots or braid bars. Braiding occurs when a river's sediment load and slope exceeds a threshold, causing deposition that divides the channel. This often happens after heavy rainfall, when discharge levels fluctuate. Braided channels are common where coarse sediments like sand and gravel are carried, such as in the wide, shallow valleys of rivers with little slope.
River Changes And Landforms
The document provides information about river characteristics and landforms. It describes key features of drainage basins such as tributaries, watersheds and confluences. It explains the changes that occur along a river's long profile from upper to middle to lower course, including differences in gradient, erosion processes and landforms. Specific features of the upper course like interlocking spurs and waterfalls are also outlined. The formation of meanders and oxbow lakes in the middle course through erosion and deposition is detailed.
Meander Formation
Meanders form through the process of helicoidal flow. At bends in the river, centripetal force throws water towards the outer bank, eroding and undercutting it. Slower flow on the inside of bends leads to deposition and the formation of point bars. Helicoidal flow causes eroded material to be deposited downstream in the next meander loop, furthering the meandering shape over time as the river seeks the most efficient path.
8 River Landforms
The document discusses various river landforms found along different parts of a river's course. It defines key terms like load, sediment, river bed, and river bank. It also defines the four types of erosion and four types of sediment transport processes. The document describes how particle size, channel width, and depth change downstream. It then provides more details on specific landforms usually seen in the upper, middle, and lower course, such as V-shaped valleys, waterfalls, meanders, point bars, oxbow lakes, and deltas.
Glacial landforms with mapped examples
Snow collects in hollows high in the mountains and over time compacts into ice. As the ice moves downhill due to its weight and melting water underneath, it erodes the landscape through plucking and abrasion. This action deepens and steepens the hollows, forming cirques or corries, and creates sharp-edged ridges called arêtes between corries. When three or more cirques cut into the same mountain, they form a pyramidal peak with steep, angular faces.
Fluvial processes and_land_forms
Streams shape the land through erosion and deposition via fluvial processes. A stream system typically has three courses - upper, middle, and lower. The upper course has steep valleys and gorges due to erosion. The middle course features meandering streams and floodplains. The lower course is dominated by depositional landforms like deltas. A stream erodes until it reaches its base level, which can be an ocean, lake, or resistant rock layer.

River processes & landforms
This document discusses river processes and landforms. It explains that rivers erode, transport, and deposit sediment as they flow downstream. The faster the river flows and the greater its volume, the larger particles it can transport. A river's load gets deposited when the river loses energy. The channel changes as the river flows from its upper to middle to lower courses, with meanders and floodplains developing over time. Living in floodplains and deltas provides benefits but also flood risks that can be mitigated through various prevention methods.

Fluvial/River Processes
Here are the key points about how isostatic changes have impacted the Irish landscape:
- Isostatic changes refer to vertical movements of the Earth's crust due to adjustments in land masses following the melting of ice sheets during glacial periods.
- During the last ice age, much of Ireland was depressed under thick ice sheets, weighing the land surface down. As the ice melted about 10,000 years ago, the land began to rise again in a process known as isostatic rebound.
- This caused rivers to be elevated above their original base levels. Many rivers underwent rejuvenation as they cut downwards, forming features like waterfalls, incised meanders and terraces along their courses as they
Fluvial Process And Related Land Forms
The document discusses fluvial processes and landforms. It describes various types of erosion caused by water including surface erosion through splash and sheet erosion, and channel erosion through rills, gullies, and streams. It also discusses drainage basins and patterns, explaining how drainage patterns are influenced by geology and reflect the arrangement of river courses. Various landforms resulting from fluvial processes are also mentioned.
Landforms along rivers
Weathering and erosion shape landforms through natural processes. Running water, ice, wind, and gravity cause weathering that breaks down rocks. Erosion then transports eroded material. This degradation and deposition forms many landforms along rivers, including headwaters, valleys, canyons, rapids, waterfalls, meanders, oxbow lakes, floodplains, natural levees, river mouths, and deltas.
Rivers
Rivers go through three stages as they flow from their source to the sea - youthful, mature, and old. In the youthful stage, the fast-moving river erodes the landscape, creating V-shaped valleys, interlocking spurs, and waterfalls. During the mature stage, the river transports eroded material and deposits it, forming wider valleys, meanders, and flood plains. In the slow-moving old stage, deposition creates features like ox-bow lakes, levees, and deltas at the river's mouth. Rivers have long been important to people for transportation, water, and more recently, power generation through hydroelectric dams.
Drainage Basins
The document discusses key concepts related to drainage basins and stream hydrology. It begins by defining a drainage basin and explaining how the drainage basin system operates, with water flowing overland or underground to streams and rivers. It then examines factors that affect runoff and infiltration rates within a basin, such as soil type and vegetation cover. Finally, it addresses drainage basin management techniques as well as stream ordering and concepts like laminar and turbulent flow.

Fluvial landforms-for-site-docx
The document describes various fluvial landforms found in the upper course of a river. Vertical erosion dominates and produces V-shaped valleys with interlocking spurs. Rapids and waterfalls form where the gradient suddenly increases, such as at bands of harder rock. Potholes are eroded by spinning pebbles in eddies and widen/deepen through abrasion. Braided channels occur where rivers carry large sand/gravel loads that deposit as shifting bars and islands, dividing the channel.
River landforms
This document summarizes various landforms created by rivers in different sections of their courses. In the upper course, waterfalls and rapids form where hard rock layers are exposed. In the middle course, meanders form as the gradient lessens and ox-bow lakes are created when meander loops are cut off. Floodplains and fluvial terraces are deposited during flooding. Near the mouth, deltas form in tideless seas and estuaries form where tidal currents meet river discharge.
Humid geomorphic environment
Running water and streams are formed from net precipitation. Streams are classified as perennial or intermittent depending on continuous flow. A river is a large natural channel that flows into another body of water. Streams have sources, mouths, confluences and basins. Rivers originate based on factors like water availability and slope. They evolve through youthful, mature and old stages. Rivers erode the land through processes like hydraulic action and transport sediment in solution, suspension, saltation and traction. This forms erosional landforms like valleys, gorges, waterfalls and meanders as well as depositional landforms like floodplains, deltas and alluvial fans.
Meandering Rivers
Meandering rivers form sinuous patterns as they erode the outer banks of bends and deposit sediments inside bends. This process causes the river channel to migrate back and forth over time. Key features of meandering rivers include point bars, which are sediment deposits inside bends, and oxbow lakes, which form when meander loops are cut off from the main river channel. Meandering rivers have a single channel and flow in helical patterns that erode the outer bank and deposit sediments inside bends, causing the characteristic sinuous shape over time.
CH-1 Introduction to River Hydraulics.pdf
This document provides an overview of river engineering and hydraulics. It discusses the characteristics and behaviors of rivers, including their classification based on factors like flow variation, location, and plan form. The development processes of alluvial streams are explained, along with river morphology and features like meandering, braiding, and the formation of pools and riffles. Key aspects of river engineering covered include river training, channel design, flood control, and environmental enhancement. The stages of a river from its source to its delta are also outlined.
Deltas- types, formation, case studies
Deltas are landforms formed at river mouths where sediment is deposited as the river enters a sea or lake. They are fan-shaped areas that can span hundreds of kilometers. The Indus River Delta in Pakistan covers 40,000 square kilometers and has a complex network of distributaries. Deltas form as rivers slow down at their mouths, causing sediment to flocculate and settle, building up over time. Different types of deltas include bird's foot, arcuate, and cuspate shapes, depending on factors like tidal influence. Deltas provide fertile land and resources but are also at high risk of flooding and channel migration due to their unstable sediments.
GEOGRAPHY IGCSE: RIVER LANDFORMS
This document summarizes the key landforms found in the upper, middle, and lower courses of a river. In the upper course, steep valleys and gorges form due to erosion. Meanders and oxbow lakes develop in the middle course as the gradient decreases. The lower course features wide floodplains and deltas, where deposition exceeds erosion at the river's mouth.
Types of channel
There are three main types of channels: straight channels found in the upper zone on rock, braided channels in the middle zone on coarse alluvial material with several intersecting channels, and meandering channels in the lower zone on fine alluvial material that regularly change position across the floodplain. The long profile of a river shows it has a concave shape from the steeper upper reach to gentler lower reach, with an ideal graded long profile existing in a state of dynamic equilibrium between erosion and deposition rates.

River landforms in the upper course
The upper course of a river has low water volume and flows through a narrow, steep-sided V-shaped valley. It erodes vertically, forming interlocking spurs as the river is forced to swing around resistant rock outcrops. A V-shaped valley forms through vertical erosion in the river channel and weathering of valley sides, causing material to move downslope and be transported away by the river over time.

Naturalists at Large: Rivers watersheds
The streams found in mountains are likely young, with V-shaped valleys and steep gradients. They move fast upstream, carrying large rocks and boulders, but slow downstream where they deposit small silts and clays. This sorting process forms the soils in valleys. Grand Canyon took 1-3 million years to form as the river cut through rock. Rivers slow and widen as they approach base level, forming broad floodplains and meanders.

L4 Levees And Floodplains
1) Floodplains form through erosion and deposition as rivers carry large loads of sediment and widen their valleys over thousands of years.
2) Levees are natural embankments that form along rivers when water moving out of the channel loses energy and deposits heavier sediments along the banks during flooding.
3) Repeated flooding and deposition over time cause levees and floodplains to build up layers of nutrient-rich alluvium soil.
13.4 Stages of a River.ppt
Floodplains develop alongside rivers and are subject to periodic flooding. As rivers mature from steep mountain streams to slow, meandering plains rivers, they develop floodplains marked by features like natural levees, backswamps, and oxbow lakes formed from river meanders. Flooding deposits sediment across the floodplain but slows closer to the river, building up levees. Meanders may eventually be cut off, forming oxbow lakes. While flooding is natural, it can be hazardous to human development, so structures like dams, levees, flood walls, and bypasses are used to control floodwaters.
Geography fluvial landforms
Stream capture, also known as river capture or stream piracy, is the process where a river or stream redirects its flow and starts flowing into another river's drainage basin instead of continuing into its own basin. This can occur where two drainage basins are separated by an erosion-resistant divide that is breached by headward erosion of one of the streams. Once the divide is breached, the stream will capture the tributaries of the neighboring basin and divert its entire flow into the new course. Stream capture events can result in changes to drainage patterns over time.
Fluvial featuresy13ib geography
The document discusses key concepts related to fluvial landforms and their formation by erosion and depositional processes. It focuses on students understanding the relationship between landforms and the fluvial processes that shape them, including the formation of waterfalls, meanders, flood plains, braided channels, levees, and deltas. Key concepts are erosion, deposition, slope erosion, stream erosion, and how these shape features like channels, banks, and overall fluvial landscapes over time.
Fluvial process
Fluvial processes create distinct landforms over time as a river ages. In the youth stage, the river valley is narrow with steep sides. Meanders begin to form in the maturity stage as the river widens and deepens. In the old stage, the river flows across a flat floodplain as it approaches being a featureless plain. Distinct landforms are produced at each stage as the river's erosional and depositional activities change.
River Erosion and its Associated fetures

It also includes diagrams of drainage patterns and stream order. Common river features are described such as meanders, floodplains, levees, and the formation of ox-bow lakes. The four main methods of river erosion and three methods of sediment transportation are defined. River landforms like waterfalls and pot holes are also examined. The document concludes with descriptions of the different stages in river development from youth to maturity.

The document summarizes key aspects of river systems and their transport of sediment. It describes how rivers transition from steep mountain headwaters to flatter plains, carrying sediment in various modes of transport. It also discusses characteristics of meandering and braided rivers, and how river channels migrate and deposit sediment in point bars and during floods. The document concludes by outlining features that form as rivers enter standing bodies of water, such as deltas, alluvial fans, and fan-deltas.
GROUP 3.pptx
V-shaped valleys form through strong stream erosion in mountainous areas. As streams rapidly flow down steep slopes, hydraulic action and abrasion cut deep notches into the landscape vertically, forming narrow valleys with steeply sloped sides resembling the letter V. Interlocking spurs are landforms that bulge out from mountain slopes, creating a winding path for rivers. They form as rivers erode softer surfaces to avoid harder rock, deepening into hills over time. Potholes are holes eroded into river beds when rock fragments are swirled around by eddying currents, with abrasion deepening small hollows over time and joining them together.
Running water-Geomorhology Chapter
Running water is the primary agent of erosion on Earth's surface, though its role is limited in some glaciated and desert areas. Streams erode through processes like abrasion, attrition, solution, and hydraulic action. As they flow downhill, their kinetic energy is used to transport sediment in suspension, saltation, traction, or solution. When the stream's energy decreases, such as when entering flatter terrain, sediment is deposited in features like point bars, floodplains, levees, meanders, and deltas. Meanders may be cut off over time, forming oxbow lakes.

The document provides detailed information about the Holford Combe river valley located in the Quantock Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in Somerset, England. It describes the physical geography of the river valley from its source in the upland hills to its mouth where it empties into the Bristol Channel. Key features of the upper, middle, and lower courses of the river are identified and explained, along with the geological formations and land use of the surrounding landscape.
Fresh Surface Water
Lakes are inland bodies of water formed in depressions where water collects. They are formed through processes like diastrophism, glacial action, and volcanic activity. Lakes provide many benefits like transportation, water storage, hydroelectric power, and recreation. Specific types of lakes include kettle lakes formed in depressions left by melting glaciers, tarn lakes in mountain hollows, and volcanic lakes that form in volcanic craters. Oxbow lakes form from river meanders that are cut off. Swamps occur in low-lying areas and transition between lakes and dry land depending on the season. Rivers are natural freshwater streams that flow towards seas, lakes or other rivers. Meltwater from glaciers feeds streams
River Rejuvination
The document discusses several landforms that can result from river rejuvenation caused by a fall in sea level. Knick points form as steps where the river erodes downward to adjust to the new base level, and may create waterfalls. River terraces are abandoned floodplains left at higher levels after the river cuts down through deposits. Incised or enclosed meanders develop when the river maintains its meandering pattern while increasing vertical erosion.
Rivers
This document defines key river features and processes, and describes the three stages of river development. It also discusses human uses of rivers including hydroelectric power, irrigation, and recreation. Key points are:
- Rivers erode, transport, and deposit material as they flow from their source to their mouth.
- A river progresses from a steep-sided youthful stage to a winding mature stage and finally a flood-plain old age stage.
- Humans build dams for hydroelectric power and irrigation, but they flood land and impact river ecosystems.
