Question

Match the following.

• A. Vertical erosion
• B. Oxbow lakes
• C. Estuaries
• D. Depositional landform

Answer 1

In the youthful stage, the river flows with much power and force. The water cuts the rocks in a vertical angle, and hence, vertical erosion takes place. At the mature stage, landforms like oxbow lakes are formed. In the old stage, the river flows slowly and forms depositional landforms like estuaries and deltas.
