Channel (geography)
In physical geography and hydrology, a channel is a landform on which a relatively narrow body of water is situated, such as a river, river delta or strait. While ''channel'' typically refers to a natural formation, the cognate term ''canal'' denotes a similar artificial structure. Channels are important for the functionality of ports and other bodies of water used for Navigability, navigability for shipping. Naturally, channels will change their depth and capacity due to erosion and Deposition (geology), deposition processes. Humans maintain navigable channels by dredging and other engineering processes. By extension, the term also applies to fluids other than water, e.g., lava channels. The term is also traditionally used to describe the Venusian channels, waterless surface features on Venus. Formation Channel initiation refers to the site on a mountain slope where water begins to flow between identifiable banks.Bierman, R. B, David R. Montgomery (2014). Key Concepts in Geom ...
