- Floodplains: These are areas of land that are periodically flooded by the river. They are typically found on the inside of river bends, where the water is slower and more likely to deposit sediment.
- Levees: These are natural embankments that are built up by the river along its banks. They help to protect the land behind them from flooding.
- Point bars: These are bars of sediment that are deposited on the inside of river bends. They are formed when the river's current is strong enough to carry sediment, but not strong enough to erode the bank.
- Mid-channel bars: These are bars of sediment that are deposited in the middle of the river. They are typically formed when the river's current is strong enough to carry sediment, but not strong enough to erode the banks or point bars.
- Riffles: These are areas of the river where the water is shallow and the current is fast. They are often found in areas where the river bed is made up of hard rock.
- Pools: These are areas of the river where the water is deep and the current is slow. They are often found in areas where the river bed is made up of sand or mud.
- Meanders: These are bends in the river. They are formed when the river's current is strong enough to erode the banks and cause the river to change course.
