Deposition, Erosion, Oxbow lake, and Cutoff

# data[].attributes.body
Deposition – eroded materials such as sand and is dropped in a river bed
Erosion – washing away rocks and soil. (Breaking down rocks).
Oxbow Lake – when a meander in a river gets cut off from the rest of the river by land, forming a lake
Cutoff – occurs when a meander bend is changed by a channel that bypasses the meander and goes straight instead, often creating an oxbow lake

Young, Mature, Old Streams, and River Bed

# data[].attributes.body
Young Stream – swift moving stream through a steep valley, erodes the stream bottom faster than the sides.
Mature Stream –flows more smoothly than a young stream, through a valley, most rapids are eroded.
Old Stream – flows smoothly through a broad flat floodplain.

River Bed – the channel bottom of a stream, river, or creek

Groundwater - water that is underground in the soil.
Runoff-Something that drains or runs off.

# data[].attributes.body
Meanders – when moving water erodes the outer banks and widens the valleys.
Source  – beginning place of a river or a stream
Point Bar – pile of sand and gravel deposited by a meandering stream on the inside curve of the meander

# data[].attributes.body
Load- any material moved by a river.
suspended load - material is suspended in water and moved.
dissolved load - material is dissolved in water and moved, bedload - material moved over or along the stream bed)

Drainage Basin/Watershed – an area drain by a body of water.
Divide – a boundary between 2 adjacent drainage basins.

Definitions:
Tributary-a small river or stream flowing into a large lake or river.
Delta-landform that forms from deposition of sediment flowing into a slower moving or standing river.
Floodplain – an area of flat land being adjacent to a river.
Channel –an outline path of a shallow body of fluid.
Mouth-where a river enters an ocean.
