The Hydrologic Cycle The continuous interchange of water among the ocean, atmosphere, and continents
The processes involved in the hydrologic cycle include precipitation, evaporation, infiltration, runoff, and transpiration.
The term fluvial is applied to the processes and landforms associated with the action of running water

Gradient and Channel Characteristics Discharge
Stream Flow The factors that determine a stream's velocity Gradient = slope of the stream channel Shape

Roughness
Discharge
Most often, the gradient and roughness of a stream decrease downstream, while width, depth, discharge, and velocity increase.
Stream Channels Stream channels are two basic types: bedrock channels and alluvial channels. Bedrock channels are most common in headwaters regions where the gradients are steep. Rapids and waterfalls are common features. Two types of alluvial channels are meandering channels and braided channels.
A river process is something that happens in the river. The main processes in the river are
Erosion - where parts of the river bed and bank get eroded / removed from the landscape
Transportation - where the eroded material is carried from one place to another through the river system
Deposition - where the river load becomes too heavy for the river to carry and is dumped down / deposited.

Stream Deposition
Streams and Point Bars Fans
Stream Deposition Streams deposit sediments when velocity slows and competence is reduced. This results in sorting, the process by which like-sized particles are deposited together. Stream deposits are called alluvium and may occurs as channel deposits calls bars, as floodplain deposits, which include natural levees, and as deltas or alluvial fans at the mouths of streams.
