Rivers - simple morphology and classification

Published: Feb. 19, 2021, 11 p.m.

Rivers are so important as they provide water for drinking and agriculture.   They are also important as they move mountains (over time) to the ocean!   In this episode, we talk about the basic morphology of rivers - bedrock and alluvial rivers as well as the concepts of young, mature, and old rivers.  It is a very basic introduction to ways of looking at rivers.
