Erosion and Deposition Features Associated with Water
Meander
River Stages
Headwaters
Mouth of River
Young = Straight, steep,
and fast
Old = Lots of meanders, flat,
and slower
Oxbow Lake
When the stream meanders so much it cuts off a section of the stream creating a lake
Floodplain
Flat areas on each side of the stream where extra water collects during floods
Alluvial Fan
Sediment carried by mountain stream deposits at the bottom when the water slows down due to shallow slopes
Delta
Rivers carry and then dump sediment into the ocean
