Weathering, Erosion and Deposition " I can"

a flat area of land adjacent to a river that is periodically flooded when water spills over the river's banks during times of heavy rainfall or snowmelt.

landforms formed at the mouths of rivers where they meet larger bodies of water, such as oceans or lakes. As rivers reach their destination, they slow down, losing energy and depositing sediment carried from upstream. Over time, this sediment accumulates and builds up, creating a fan-shaped landform with intricate channels and marshy areas.

As water flows downhill, it picks up sediment and gradually wears away the land, creating a channel. Over time, the repeated erosive forces of the river deepen and widen the channel, carving out a valley. The shape of the valley can be influenced by factors such as the type of rock, the gradient of the land, and the strength of the river's flow.
