HL Geography - Option A: Freshwater

raised banks as coarse material is deposited near the channel as a result of repeated flooding

the river erodes the outer bank of a bend and deposition occurs along the inner bank forming a point bar

occurs on horizontally bedded rocks as soft rock is undercut by hydraulic action causing hard rock to collapse and retreat

the smallest particles are carried in the water

large particles hop along the river system

pebbles shunt along the river bed

material is carried in dissolved load

materials such as leaves and twigs are carried along the surface of the river

the wearing away of land as water flows past the bed and bank

the force of air and water going into cracks

wearing of load as rocks knock against each other

the scraping away of the bed and bank

chemicals in the river dissolves minerals in the rocks within the bed and bank, carrying them away in solution

a model which shows how the size of the river affects stream flow

areas of land where precipitation drains downhill into a body of water

the boundary line of a drainage basin

the start of a river

a smaller river which joins the main river

the point where two rivers meet

the area of land on either side of the river channel

the point where the river joins another body of water such as the sea
