River
landforms
- Erosional
- Waterfalls
- Softer rock is
eroded more
than the hard
rock - creating 'step'
- Eventually
creates steep
drop
- Hard rock
collapses as
unsupported
- Plunge pool created
by collapsed rock -
swirls around and
erodes bottom

- Erosional and depositional
- Meanders
- Current is faster
on outside
- So more erosion
- So more erosion
- Current is slower
on inside
- So eroded material deposited

- Oxbow lake
- Outside bends get
closer (erosion)
- Only small bit of
land left - neck

- When river floods it
deposits eroded material
- Builds up -
makes it
