  66. Flooding in the Severn Valley Floodplain can be mapped into risk zones high to low
  67. Flooding in the Severn Valley Floodplain can be mapped into risk zones high to low Floods can be beneficial - they renew soil fertility by depositing sediment on floodplain
  68. Flooding in the Severn Valley Floodplain can be mapped into risk zones high to low Floods can be beneficial - they renew soil fertility by depositing sediment on floodplain Floods result in large amounts of sediment transported in the channel

  71. Alluvial fan, Buttermere, Lake District
  72. Alluvial fan, Buttermere, Lake District Lake Buttermere acts as a local baselevel for the stream, leading to deposition of load in a triangular shape - an alluvial fan This is the same process that forms major deltas at the coast e.g. R. Nile
