A river is originated up in the mountains. The river is created when snow or rain water goes downhill and begins to create a river. As the river goes downhill it cuts a v shaped valleys. When the river reaches a flatter slope it slows down and creates meanders. Then the river flows to its destination and deposits the sediment and rocks. Also known as deposition. Deposition can create oxbow lakes and deltas.
