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.]]> 2016-05-16 18:42:26 UTC https://padlet.com/ml20719/w7kftlc8pwbz/wish/111098550 Drainage Basin/Watershed and Divide ax20643 https://padlet.com/ml20719/w7kftlc8pwbz/wish/111100139 Drainage Basin/Watershed – an area drain by a body of water.
Divide – a boundary between 2 adjacent drainage basins.]]> 2016-05-16 18:49:46 UTC https://padlet.com/ml20719/w7kftlc8pwbz/wish/111100139 Suspend and Dissolved Load ak20530 https://padlet.com/ml20719/w7kftlc8pwbz/wish/111100659 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)]]> 2016-05-16 18:52:07 UTC https://padlet.com/ml20719/w7kftlc8pwbz/wish/111100659 Meanders, Source, and Point Bar ml20719 https://padlet.com/ml20719/w7kftlc8pwbz/wish/111102101 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

Runoff-Something that drains or runs off.]]> 2016-05-16 18:59:52 UTC https://padlet.com/ml20719/w7kftlc8pwbz/wish/111102124 Young, Mature, Old Streams, and River Bed ml20719 https://padlet.com/ml20719/w7kftlc8pwbz/wish/111317093 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

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

Braided Stream – stream with many bars and islands that are separated by river channels so it looks “braided”]]> 2016-05-19 18:38:54 UTC https://padlet.com/ml20719/w7kftlc8pwbz/wish/111736505
