Fluvial processes form several channel patterns, including: *Straight, which are found in the most tectonically incised/active areas. This is more of a hypothetical end-member, and are not often found in nature. Straight-type channels can be found at alluvial fans. *Braided rivers, which form in (tectonically active) areas that have a larger sedimentary load than the discharge of the river and a high gradient. *Meandering rivers, which form a sinuous path in a usually low-gradient plain toward the end of a fluvial system. *Anastomosed river is a rare case of a relatively straight, complicated vertical sequence of river deposits with banks held together by dense vegetation. == See also == *Channel types *Sedimentary depositional environment *Sedimentary structures *Fluvial *Fluvial landforms 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Channel pattern」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
