Fluvial landforms Study guides, Study notes & Summaries

This resource is a full set of revision notes on the CCEA AS topic of rivers. It includes subtopics such as processes that shape fluvial environments, drainage basin processes above and below the surface, discharge and the storm hydrograph, river processes, factors affecting velocity in the river channel, erosion, transportation and deposition, hjulstrom curve, river landforms (waterfalls, rapids, pools, riffles, meanders, oxbow lake, floodplain, levees, delta), river management (channelistaion,...

Describe how a reduction in energy may lead to sediment sorting. (6) - Sorting is the process by which the standard deviation of clast size within a sediment becomes reduced. - High energy environments (e.g. shallow marine) are able to transport a large range of sediment sizes by traction, saltation, and suspension. - When energy is reduced larger particles are deposited, but finer material continues to be transported, therefore continuing the sorting process. - Sorting may occur by LSD, on ...

Geomorphology - the science of landforms (their origin, form, and spatial distribution) Topography - elevation changes of the earth's surface over a given space or distance (ridges and valleys) Landform - an individual element of a landscape, mountain, or a valley, etc. Uniformitarianism - the idea that the processes of change we see today are the same as they were in the past and will be in the future. Types of landforms - tectonic, fluvial, karst, glacial, eolian, and coastal Tectoni...

This document includes detailed notes, labelled diagrams and definitions of all River theory including types, patterns, density, flooding, fluvial processes and landforms, river rejuvenation and capture and hydrographs. I achieved a distinction using these notes.

A presentation on all aspects of geomorphology including drainage basins, river discharge and fluvial landforms.

This summary includes all the landforms which you must know for the exam as well as, a picture and a description of it. Also, it includes the formation process with clear and detailed information and diagrams. This summary will help you learn the landforms in an easy and quick way before sitting the exam making you feel much more confident about the syllabus. Good luck in your study process!!
