through which processes are river landforms formed by
erosion and deposition

21m fall into a plunge pool below. found in the upper course of the river, near to the forest-in-teesdale. the top of High Force is formed from igneous rock called winstone which is more resistant than limestone below so has survived hundreds of years of erosion
tourism attraction with a hotel near
darlington - meanders
in the lower course the river loses energy so deposits sediments. over many years this has created the shape of the river and low - lying flood plains that have led to the contruction of darlington
meanders to ox bow lakes
closer to yarm near the mouth the meanders have formed ox - bow lakes
importance of yarm
tends to be the location of any flooding. over time this has helped to build levees here. some people come to yarm for fishing for trout and other types of fish.
