Streams are any flowing body of water; however, the term river is reserved for the major branches of a stream system. the flow of a stream depends on gravity as a function of the slope, and as such depends on plate tectonics that drive uplift. flow also depends on rainfall and the like, as determined by the climate. Introduction. fluvial systems are dominated by rivers and streams. stream erosion may be the most important geomporphic agent. fluvial processes sculpt the landscape, eroding landforms, transporting sediment, and depositing it to create new landforms. human civilization and ecosystems alike are dependent on fluvial systems.

The exercises in this lab require you to identify fluvial landforms in google earth (web) and calculate gradients. before commencing the lab exercises, complete the instructional tour: fluvial geomorphology lab [kml] to learn more about how to find and draw the fluvial landforms you will include in the virtual guided tour you will produce. Fluvial landforms are those landforms which are shaped and modified by the running water. running water has sculpted most of the land surface across the world in comparison to other agents of erosion like wind or glacier. streams are in a constant process of shaping the land surface into newer forms. the running water erodes even the loftiest.

Ellen wohl, in encyclopedia of geology (second edition), 2018. introduction. fluvial geomorphology is concerned with the creation of landforms by river processes through the removal and transfer of materials on earth's surface. process studies are rooted in a number of disciplines, the earliest identifying “processes” as evolutionary time.
