This document discusses various landforms created by erosion from running water, including valleys, canyons, waterfalls, flood plains, meanders, ox-bow lakes, and deltas. Valleys form from faster downcutting than lateral cutting by rivers. Canyons like the Grand Canyon are very long and narrow valleys formed by the Colorado River's erosive action. Meanders are twists and turns that occur when a river's speed decreases on flood plains.

2.  The act of removing the rock debris derived
by weathering process of external agencies is
called Erosion.
 The removing the rock debris and deposited
elsewhere is called deposition

3. Factors influencing Erosion
 Amount of water
 Speed of the flowing water
 Hardness of rock
 Slope of the land

4.  The inclined surface on both side of the river
are called valleys
 The down cutting of the river is faster than
lateral cutting
 Valley take v shape

6.  Canyons are very long narrow valley
 It found in Arizona in United states of
America
 Formed by the erosive action of
Colorado river
 One of the national park in America
 446 km long, 6-29 km wide, depth
1830 m

8. The waterfall vertically down from the steep sides
on the hilly region. E.g.. Jog waterfall in
Karnataka

10.  During the monsoon season ,when the river
overflow its banks there is flooding. As a
result of this , there is a deposits of silts on
the banks. This evolve as flood plains

12.  The speed of the river decreases when it
reaches the flood plains so the river twist and
turns which occur thus are called meanders

13.  A crescent shape lake formed when a
meander of a river or stream is cut off from
the main stream
 Changing course of river

14.  When rivers brings materials along with it
which gets deposited near to the mouth of
the rivers the formations of a delta.
 It look like the Greek letter delta (Δ)
 Eg. Sunderban delta in India
