  1. Erosion and Deposition Features Associated with Water

  2. Meander

  3. River Stages Headwaters Young = Straight, steep, and fast Old = Lots of meanders, flat, and slower Mouth of River

  4. Oxbow Lake When the stream meanders so much it cuts off a section of the stream creating a lake

  5. Floodplain Flat areas on each side of the stream where extra water collects during floods

  6. Sediment carried by mountain stream deposits at the bottom when the water slows down due to shallow slopes Alluvial Fan

  7. Delta Rivers carry and then dump sediment into the ocean
