Fluvial Processes – Grade 12 Notes

Fluvial processes refer to the various physical
and chemical processes that occur in and around
rivers and streams. These processes shape the
land, create habitats for plants and animals, and
provide water for human use.


Erosion is a key fluvial process. It occurs when
water in a river or stream picks up sediment,
such as rocks and dirt, and carries it
downstream. This can cause the riverbed to
become deeper and the banks to become
steeper. Erosion also helps to create landforms
such as canyons and gorges.




Deposition is the opposite of erosion and occurs
when the water in a river or stream loses energy
and drops the sediment it was carrying. This can
cause the riverbed to become shallower and the
banks to become more gradual. Deposition also
helps to create landforms such as deltas and
floodplains.
