Describe chief landforms of river deposition.
✓
Answer
The chief landforms resulting from the deposition of a river are the following :
V-shaped Valleys : It is formed from a stream eroding downward, through a process, called down cutting. These valleys are formed in the initial stages of rivers and have steep slopes.
I-shaped Valley : In regions of hard rocks it develops almost vertically in an I-shape. River valleys are normally formed in areas of sufficient rainfall and where rocks are not very hard or resistant.
