Fluvial and River Landforms

This group collects the Landform Concepts subcategory's members that name and define landforms built by running water in rivers and streams: floodplains, levees, alluvial fans, oxbow lakes, braided channels, point bars, cut banks, river deltas and the terraces, knickpoints and rapids that mark a river's long profile. Each entry defines the term and the fluvial process that shapes it rather than describing one named river.
