Factors → Work Of River -
- Velocity - [Greater the velocity, larger the material can be transported]
- Volume - More water, more load
Deposition - Reasons -
Anywhere where work of river is decreased:
- Slower water
- Smaller volume of water
Discharge:
Volume of water flowing down the river at any one time [Cubic meters per second]
Types of river channels -
