– ‘V’-shaped valleys are formed by the erosional action of rivers in their upper course, typically found in mountainous areas where downcutting is dominant.
– Deltas are landforms created by deposition of sediment that is carried by a river as the flow leaves its mouth and enters slower-moving or standing water, usually the sea or a lake. They are characteristic features of the lower reaches of rivers, often found at coasts.
– Ox-bow lakes are crescent-shaped lakes formed in abandoned meander loops of a river, typically found in the flat, alluvial plains of the river’s lower course.
