Check: gullies, meanders, oxbow lakes, rills, waterfalls.
Do not check: streams (a stream is the flowing water/agent, not a landform created by river erosion).
Briefly why:
- Gullies and rills: small channels carved into soil by running water (erosion).
- Meanders: bends produced by lateral erosion on outer banks (with deposition on inner banks).
- Oxbow lakes: formed when erosion cuts off a meander and deposition seals the old channel.
- Waterfalls: formed by differential erosion where resistant rock overlies softer rock, creating a vertical drop.
