Question

which features are formed by river erosion? check all that apply.
□ gullies
□ meanders
□ oxbow lakes
□ rills
□ streams
□ waterfalls

Explanation:

• Gullies: Formed by water erosion (including river - related runoff) as water carves deep channels.
• Meanders: Created by river erosion, where the river erodes the outer bank and deposits on the inner bank, causing the winding shape.
• Oxbow lakes: Formed when a meander is cut off from the main river due to erosion and deposition, creating a lake.
• Rills: Small channels formed by water (including river - related) erosion, especially in the early stages of erosion.
• Waterfalls: Formed when a river erodes a softer rock layer below a harder one, causing a vertical drop.
• Streams are more about the flow of water rather than a feature formed by erosion.

Answer:

• meanders
• oxbow lakes
• waterfalls
• gullies
• rills
