- The Long Profile and Channel Characterisitics
- Upper Course
- Vertical erosion (hydraulic action, abrasion and attrition)
- Traction and Saltation at high flow
- Load size is large and angular
- V-Shaped valleys
- Middle Course
- Channel is deeper and wider
- More Lateral erosion as vertical erosion is decreasing
- Suspension is the main transportation type
- Lower Course
- Channel is wide and deep (May be tidal)
- Deposition is much more important than erosion
- Fine material deposited
- Large amount of load but the size is small and rounded
- Upper Course
