Fluvial Landforms & Processes River Systems and Fluvial Landforms Longitudinal Profile and Equilibrium Drainage Basins, classic patterns Lakes and Dams Mountain Streams Straight Rivers Braided Rivers Meandering Rivers Anabranching Rivers Gulleys River Terraces Waterfalls Photo: SCGS. Flood plains Alluvial Fans 1. Fluvial Landforms & Processes Rivers are one of the most dominant agents of landscape change Flowing waters are continually eroding, transporting, and depositing sediments ( Fluvial Processes ). River based flooding is among one of the most frequent and widespread natural hazards. 2. Longitudinal Profile and Watersheds longitudinal profile: an elevation cross-section of the entire watershed from the source of flowing water to the mouth of the stream. headwaters: the highest elevation where water collects to form a stream network. base level: the lowest elevation that a stream can erode its channel.
