Physical Geography

River physical geography encompasses dynamic interactions between land and water. River channels sculpt landscapes, eroding rocks and depositing sediment. Gradient, discharge, and sediment transport define river morphology, impacting ecosystems and human activities. Physical geography also considers factors like watershed boundaries and river basin dynamics, illustrating the interconnected nature of Earth's hydrological systems and the vital role rivers play in shaping the planet's surface.
