RIVER PROCESSES AND LANDFORMS

Some basic concepts. Just for Fun!!!
Made by Edward Ju
Across
The level at which a body of water’s surface has risen to a sufficient level to cause sufficient inundation of areas that are not normally covered by water, causing an inconvenience or a threat to life and/or property.
A point that represents the maximum rise of a body of water over land. Such a mark is often the result of a flood, but high water marks may reflect an all-time high, an annual high (highest level to which water rose that year) or the high point for some other division of time.
piece of sloped plane that has been cut into a series of successively receding flat surfaces or platforms, which resemble steps, for the purposes of more effective farming
Meandering rivers have a sinuous planform.
Baseflow(also called droughtflow, groundwater recessionflow, low flow, low-waterflow, low-water discharge and sustained or fair-weather runoff) is the portion of stream flow that comes from "the sum of deep subsurface flow and delayed shallow subsurface flow".
a fan-or cone-shaped deposit of sediment crossed and built up by streams
loose, unconsolidated sediment, deposited from water
Down
section of a floodplain low and farther from a river where fine deposits of fine silts and clays and organics settle after a flood
the line that separates neighboring drainage basins
mechanical scraping of a rock surface by friction between rocks and moving particles during their transport by wind, glacier, waves, gravity, running water or erosion
The land area where surface water from rain, melting snow, or ice converges to a single point at a lower elevation, usually the exit of the basinean
A channel pattern with multiple channels, high sediment loads and unvegetatedbars. This pattern occurs in modern glacier and desert areas, but also developed as large ice sheets were melting after the last glacier maximum. The Mississippi River, which is now meandering, had this pattern following glaciation as the Laurentide ice sheet was melting.
A hydrograph shows discharge or stage over time.
