   Alluvial and Fluvial Systems
   Fluvial deposition is controlled by channel competence. Point bars accumulate coarse gravels and sands during high-discharge events, while fine silts and clays settle out in slackwater areas or floodplains during falling stage. The efficiency of floodplain deposition is heavily moderated by the presence of riparian root structures, which create small, localized [gravitational singularities](/entries/gravitational-s…
