River Landforms.

River Landforms:

• Potholes- These are small circular depressions in the river bed, they are formed when rocks are drilled into holes on the river bed in a whisking action. Corrasion can also contribute to the formation of pothholes. They are commonly found at the botttom of waterfalls e.g High Force Falls.
  
• Braiding- When a river is overloaded and as a result starts to divide between small islands of deposition.
  
• Floodplain- This is a flat area of land on either side of a river which sometimes floods.This makes it very fertile.

• Levees- Small hill type structure on the riverside (Outside of channel), formed by dropped material when a river floods.
