Presentation on Fluvial Features

1. V-Shaped Valley

6. Impacts on Human Advantages (Opportunities) Disadvantages (limitations) Blocks wind: cooler temperature in daytime and warmer temperature at night Danger of avalanches and landslides Easy access to the water Difficult accessibility in terms of transportation Rich resources

7. Meanders – the middle course of River Cuckmere

10. Meanders

11. Impacts on Human Advantages (Opportunities) Disadvantages (limitations) Create fertile soil on the floodplains Dislocation of the land (agricultural land) transportation Floods occur easily trade

16. Impacts on Human Advantages (Opportunities) Disadvantages (limitations) Natural protection against disaster such as floods Stops the water to flow back to the river after flooding Stops sea water to reclaim the land Create fertile land after flooding transportation trade

35. Impacts on Human Advantages (Opportunities) Disadvantages (limitations) Tourism/Development role Floods Provides freshwater Source of Energy Provided food and transportation Fishing – Best Fishing

36. Rapids- by East Lendings ( County Durham, Great Britain ) Relatively steep gradient-causes/increases turbulence and velocity of water Rock steps along the shallower side of the rapid

37. Topographic map of the location Rapids by East Lendings

39. The satellite image of the rapid rapids

40. Impacts on Humans Advantages (Opportunities) Disadvantages (limitations) Good for canoeists Rocky banks -dangerous for canoeists Where it has rich agricultural area –it is a major processor and distributor of farm products Fast river flow- Dangerous especially for other water activities eg. Crossing rivers/fishing

41. Floodplains-River Tay and its floodplain (Dalmarnock, UK) area of land around a river channel which is formed during times of flood

43. Topographic map of the floodplains floodplain Rail tracks channel

44. The satellite image of the flood plain

45. Impacts on Humans Impacts on Humans Advantages (Opportunities) Disadvantages (limitations) water is most available the richness of the alluvial soil of floodplains are severely offset by frequent floods brought on by cyclones and annual monsoon rains very fertile for farming causes severe economic disruption and loss of human life in this densely-populated region. represent cheap sources of transportation, and are often where railroads are located any alteration of the watershed upstream can potentially affect the ability of the watershed to handle water potentially affects the levels of the periodic floods
