GEOGRAPHY (8)

The feature shown in the photograph is a pothole. Potholes are holes found in the bed of a river. They are always circular or elliptical in outline, and a few conti- metres to metres in depth. They are most often observed in the stream channel during the low water or along the bedrock walls, where they

have been left stranded after the stream has cut its channel

downward. Potholes are most

·common.in narrow valleys,. but they often occur in broad valleys as well.

A pothole begins as a shallow depression in the bed- rock channel of a stream. This initial depression may be caused by ordinary abrasion, by irregularity in the bedrock or by hydraulic action. The water swirls in auch depres- sions, with the sand, pebbles and even cobbles déposited there . By the continued swirling of the running water, these loads act.as grinding tools deepening and enlarging the depressions into potholes.

adelta:

A delta is a lowlying swampy plain built up at the mauth of a river by its

deposition, It is crossed by: aumerical levee-flanked distri- butaries. Remnante:of the

lagoons and marshes formed in ite early stage, can be found. The seaward edge of it is fringed by spite and bars. The ahape and size of a delta vary according to the amount and type of loada deposited and the mode of accumulation. The common shapes of deltan are arcuate, bird's foot and estuarine,

Formation:

the estuary, it enters is

whallow and free from tidni

current or strong ocean current,

a delta will gradually be built.

The stages in the formation and development of a delta can be summarised as follow: Stage In

At the estuary abundant loads are dropped, These loads will be coagulated when they are in contact ̇with.mea water. The river is thus choked and there- fore branches out into se- veral distributaries. Spits and bars arise. and lagoons are formed.

-The

lovees of the river extend seaward via the dis tribu- tarios.

Stage II:

When more sediments are deposited, the lagoon will be gradually filled, and they become swampy. The delta begins to assur more solid appearence. Stage III:
