LANDFORMS CAUSED BY RIVER DEPOSITION
Leeves Differed tributaries Braided channels Flood plains Ox bows Alluvial funs Deltas Leeves Leeves are exercised banks built by a river on the sides of the channel. They are usually only about one-meter high. When a river floods, the water level rises and it over flows its channel. Friction between the water and the banks causes the river to deposit its load to form a raised bank known as a leeve. They usually encourage the formation of swamps in the flood plain since not all the water is able to return to the main channel when the floods subside eg leeves are found along river Malaba in eastern Uganda. Differed tributaries . When leeves are formed on the banks of a river, they make it difficult for the tributaries to join the river they therefore flow by the sides of a river for several kilometers. They are therefore known as deferred tributaries and where they join the river is known as deferred confluence. Braided channel This refers to a wide, shallow river channel in which...
