River Structures and Features
Put on your 3D glasses to view these images.
This river is very high energy. The high gradient and rapid water movement, make erosion the dominant process here.
This river is lower in energy and displays erosion, transport and deposition, although transport in the dominant process.
This environment displays changing energy. Rapid water movement and high energy in the waterfall and lower energy in the pool below.
This is an incised river. Originally the river was a meandering stream until tectonic uplift caused it to cut throught the uplifted terrain.
In moderate energy streams such as this one, channle deposits and bars are common.
This alluvial plain near Mt. St. Helens displays braided streams, flood terraces and bar deposits.
