Alluvial plain

An alluvial plain is a largely flat landform created by the deposition of sediment over a long period of time by one or more rivers coming from highland regions, from which alluvial soil forms.

Geology

Geology (from the Ancient Greek γῆ, gē, i.e. "earth" and -λoγία, -logia, i.e. "study of, discourse") is an earth science concerned with the solid Earth, the rocks of which it is composed, and the processes by which they change over time.

Habitat

In ecology, a habitat is the type of natural environment in which a particular species of organism lives.

Manaus

Manaus or Manaós before 1939 or (formerly) Barra do Rio Negro, is the capital city of the state of Amazonas in the North Region of Brazil.

Plain

In geography, a plain is a flat, sweeping landmass that generally does not change much in elevation.

Riffle

A riffle is a shallow landform in a flowing channel, and it has specific topographic, sedimentary, and hydraulic indicators.

Riparian zone

A riparian zone or riparian area is the interface between land and a river or stream.

River

A river is a natural flowing watercourse, usually freshwater, flowing towards an ocean, sea, lake or another river.

Sea level

Mean sea level (MSL) (often shortened to sea level) is an average level of the surface of one or more of Earth's oceans from which heights such as elevations may be measured.

Sediment

Sediment is a naturally occurring material that is broken down by processes of weathering and erosion, and is subsequently transported by the action of wind, water, or ice, and/or by the force of gravity acting on the particles.

Stream

A stream is a body of water with surface water flowing within the bed and banks of a channel.

New!!: Upland and lowland and Stream · See more »

Stream bed

A stream bed is the channel bottom of a stream or river, the physical confine of the normal water flow.

Stream gradient

Stream gradient is the grade measured by the ratio of drop in elevation of a stream per unit horizontal distance, usually expressed as metres per kilometre or feet per mile.

Stream restoration

Stream restoration or river restoration, sometimes called river reclamation in the UK, describes a set of activities that help improve the environmental health of a river or stream.
