The usual spacing between pools, areas of deeper water, and riffles, areas of shallower water, is usually very regular, being 5-6 times that of the bed width. The pool is an area of greater erosion where the availiable energy in the river builds up due to a reduction in friction. Energy is dissipated across the riffle area. As a higher proportion of the total energy is then needed to overcome friction, the erosive capacity is decreased and, except at times of high discharge, material is deposited.
A well-defined network of channels that exhibit typical stream features, such as meanders, riffles, and pools, indicates a landscape shaped by streams. Additionally, the presence of floodplains and alluvial fans in the area may suggest stream activity has played a significant role in shaping the landscape.
Canada is the country formed in 1867 located to the north of the US.
The most notable are the Himalayas, formed when India (on the Indo-Australian plate) drove north into Asia.
Greenland was formed through a combination of tectonic activity and volcanic processes. It originally formed around 3 billion years ago as part of the ancient supercontinent of Rodinia. Over time, shifts in the Earth's crust led to the separation of Greenland from other landmasses.
The Mississippi River formed the western boundary.
Water flows faster in riffles than in pools.
because pools are standing water.
They formed pools in order to avoid competition by dividing business in a particular area.

Under the force of natural sources like rapids or waterfalls, plunge pools are formed. Bridge abutments and spillways due to scour from objects also form plunge pools.

Geothermal pools are formed where the hot rocks below the surface of the earth are close enough to warm pools of water on the surface. Areas of volcanic activity typically have hot springs, as in the North Island of New Zealand.
a riffle is a short fast moving stream.
Musket pistols, riffles, Saber's
Melt ponds are formed when meltwater pools on the surface instead of flowing.
