Point bars: Depositional Landforms Point bars are also known as meander bars. They are found on the convex side of meanders of large rivers and…

Natural levees: Depositional Landforms Levees occur in the lower course of a river when there is an increase in the volume of water flowing downstream…

Floodplains: Depositional Landforms Deposition develops a floodplain just as erosion makes valleys. Floodplain is a major landform of river deposition. Large sized materials are deposited…

River Terraces are surfaces marking old valley floor or floodplain levels. They may be bedrock surfaces without any alluvial cover or alluvial terraces consisting of stream…

Deltas: Depositional Landforms Depositional Landforms occurs if rocks and cliffs are being repeatedly weathered, eroded and moved then it stands to cause that this will…

Alluvial Fans: Depositional Landforms Depositional Landforms occurs if rocks and cliffs are being repeatedly weathered, eroded and moved then it stands to cause that this…

Valleys: Erosional Landforms Valleys start as small and narrow rills; the rills will gradually develop into long and wide gullies; the gullies will further deepen,…

Potholes and Plunge Pools: Erosional Landforms Over the rocky beds of hill-streams more or less circular depressions called potholes to form because of stream erosion…

Incised or Entrenched Meanders In streams that flow rapidly over steep gradients, normally erosion is concentrated on the bottom of the stream channel. Also, in…

Overland flow of Running Water In humid regions, which receive heavy rainfall running water is considered the most important of the geomorphic agents in bringing…
