Fluvial Landforms: Rivers and Valleys
Studying the erosional and depositional work of running water, creating features like valleys, floodplains, and deltas.
Key Questions
- Analyze how a river's energy and sediment load influence its erosional and depositional patterns.
- Differentiate between the landforms characteristic of youthful, mature, and old-stage rivers.
- Evaluate the human benefits and hazards associated with living on river floodplains.
