Confluence – Meeting of two or more bodies of flowing water
Cut bank – Outside bank of a water channel, which is continually undergoing erosion
Crevasse splay – Sediment deposited on a floodplain by a stream which breaks its levees
Drainage basin – Land area where water converges to a common outlet (watershed)
Esker – Long, winding ridge of stratified sand and gravel associated with former glaciers
Floodplain – Land adjacent to a river which is flooded during periods of high discharge
Fluvial landforms of streams
Fluvial terrace – Elongated terraces that flank the sides of floodplains and river valleys
Canyon – Deep chasm between cliffs (Gorge)
Gully – Landform created by running water and/or mass movement eroding sharply into soil
