What feature is created by the wearing down of soil and bedrock of a river or stream?

The wearing down of soil and bedrock of a river or stream creates a channel, which is a trough or groove formed by the flow of water. This channel path is where the river or stream flows and carries sediment downstream. Over time, erosion can widen and deepen the channel, shaping the landscape.


What are five landforms formed by river erosion?

River valleys: V-shaped valleys created by the erosive action of flowing water. Meanders: Curving bends in a river formed by lateral erosion. Oxbow lakes: U-shaped bodies of water formed when a meander is cut off from the main river channel. River cliffs: Steep, exposed banks along the edge of a river created by erosion. River deltas: Triangular landforms at the mouth of a river formed by deposition of sediments carried by the river.


What is the difference between a point bar and a channel bar?

A point bar is a depositional feature found on the inside bend of a meandering river, characterized by coarser sediment accumulation due to decreased water velocity. In contrast, a channel bar forms in the middle of a river channel and is composed of sediment deposited within the active channel due to changes in flow velocity or sediment supply.
