1. The document discusses river landscapes and processes such as meanders, flood plains, and flooding. It includes diagrams of river features and flooding case studies. 2. Flood plains are formed through hydraulic power and erosion of the outside bend of river meanders. Meanders also migrate downstream over time. When the river floods, silt and sand are deposited building up the flood plain. 3. Flooding can have severe effects if water cannot drain back into river channels due to high levees that are formed by sediment deposition during repeated floods.
