Rivers are not just agents of erosion, they are also amazing builders. 🌊 As the flow slows down, the river starts dropping its sediments and gradually creates alluvial fans, floodplains, natural levees, point bars, braid bars and oxbow lakes.
Understanding where and why deposition happens makes fluvial geomorphology much easier to visualize. 🌍💧
