Resumo de Recurso
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
Gorges
When a waterfall completely retreats
Interlocking spurs
Rivers aren't powerful enough to erode sideways
Have to wind round hillsides
Hillsides that interlock as river winds round them
Erosional and depositional
Meanders
Current is faster on outside
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
River breaks through
River flows along shortest route
Deposition cuts off the meander
Form from meanders
Depositional
Flood plains
Wide valley floor on ether side of river
When river floods it deposits eroded material
Builds up - makes it higher
Leeves
Natural embankments
Heaviest material deposited closest to river (dropped first)
Deltas
Material builds up forming low lying land
Rivers slow down when meet sea or lake - deposit material
