Medium-sized particles that 'bounce' along the riverbed are caught up in this hydrological process
Feature formed by abrasion and hydraulic action at the base of a waterfall
Feature formed on the outer bank of a river bend or meander by hydraulic action and abrasion
Feature formed on the inner bank of a river bend or meander where energy levels are lowest by deposition
Depositional feature of the middle and lower courses of a river formed of successive layers of silt and other sediments laid down when the river flooded
