What are River
Cliffs?A steep-sided
river bank caused by the undercutting of the
concave / outer bank over a period of time.
How are River Cliffs formed?
•Water
in the channel moves in a spiral
pattern.Water moving
along the surface of the river
near the outer bank tends to do so at a greater
speed than water moving against the inner bank. •Thus,
the outer bank gets
eroded by the force and velocity of the fast moving water,
resulting in the formation of a river cliff.
