In hydrology and geography, armor is the association of surface pebbles, rocks, or boulders with stream beds or beaches, most commonly occurring naturally. When armor made of pebbles to medium-sized stones two to two hundred millimetres across occurs on a beach, the resulting landform is often called a shingle beach, and hydrological modeling shows that stream armor typically persists through flood-stage conditions.
