Running water creates several landforms as it flows across the Earth's surface from its source to its mouth. These include V-shaped valleys, waterfalls, meanders, flood plains, and deltas. Running water erodes land through various processes, depositing sediment in slower areas to form landforms. Major landforms include V-shaped valleys carved by fast-flowing water, flood plains of fertile land deposited during overflowing, and deltas of sediment at river mouths.

8. WATER FALL
•Vertically downfall of water
from steep places
•Biggest waterfall in india “jog
waterfall” in karnataka

9. Waterfall

10. FLOOD PLAINS
 Deposit of silt in river banks
 Mostly during river overflows
 Fertile lands for cultivation
 Eg:- great Indian plains

11. MEANDERS
River flow zig-zag
manner
Due to less speed of
flow along plain region.
Curve of meander
isolated known as Ox-bow
Lake.

12. MEANDERS

13. DELTA
Derived from
Greek letter
Delta
Deposits seen in
mouth of river.
Last landforms
created by river.

14. CONCLUSION
Running water creates several
landforms in earth from its
beginning to end . They are
V-shaped valley, waterfall,
meander, floodplains, delta.
