The physical interaction of flowing water and the natural channels of rivers and streams. Such processes play an essential and conspicuous role in the denudation of land surfaces and the transport of rock detritus from higher to lower levels.
Fluvial deposits are graded by the process of the flow of water. Glacial deposits are ungraded because as the ice melts the deposits are all "dumped" together.
When water or ice rub against rock, a process called abrasion occurs. This process leads to the erosion of the rock surface, resulting in the formation of sediment and small particles. Over time, repeated abrasion can cause the rock to wear down and shape the landscape in a process known as glacial or fluvial erosion.
Water erosion, such as fluvial erosion from rivers and streams, is the dominant type of erosion shaping the Earth's surface. This process involves the movement of sediments by flowing water and is responsible for carving out valleys and shaping landscapes.
One famous scientist in hydrology is Luna Leopold. He was a pioneering figure in the field of fluvial geomorphology, studying the interaction of rivers and landscapes. Leopold made significant contributions to our understanding of sediment transport, river behavior, and watershed management.

The Chinese had a fluvial festival.

Erosion by moving water in a river is called fluvial erosion.
Aviación del Litoral Fluvial Argentino was created in 1946.
Aviación del Litoral Fluvial Argentino ended in 1949.

yes they do because the fluvial patterns create meandering scars along the loads

Fluvial soil is formed by sediment deposited by moving water, while alluvial soil specifically refers to soil formed by the deposition of waterborne sediments in river floodplains. In other words, all alluvial soil is fluvial soil, but not all fluvial soil is alluvial.
