Rejuvenation
Occurs when the rivers speed and
erosive power increases resulting in an
increase in downward erosion (vertical
erosion).

Characteristics of a
rejuvenated river include
water that flows rapidly with
sloping sides that create steep
cuts on the valley floor.

Reasons for rejuvenation
When the sea level is lowered
When land is uplifted e.g. due to tectonic
processes
Increase in volume of water e.g. due to
rainfall

Knickpoint is part of a river or
channel where there is a sharp
change in channel slope (gradient).
This can result from an increase in
downward (vertical erosion) due to
rejuvenation. R. Davechand 2020

Terrace
When a river flowing on the valley floor
experiences rejuvenation it cuts into
the valley floor. As this process
continues it creates steps at different
levels known as terraces. They ae
found on both sides of the river valleyR. Davechand 2020

.
Incised/Entrenched meander
It occurs when a meandering river
experiences rejuvenation resulting in
more downward (vertical) erosion. This
causes in deep incisions (cuts) resulting
in incised meanders.

Valley in a valley
The newly formed terrace begins to cut back
and form a valley. This valley widens through
lateral erosion. The process continues
gradually and if rejuvenation occurs repeatedly
new terraces form as well due to increase in
vertical erosion. This creates a smaller valley. .
