Barrier island

Barrier islands are a coastal landform, a type of dune system and sand island, where an area of sand has been formed by wave and tidal action parallel to the mainland coast. Bank (geography) and Barrier island are hydrology.

Body of water

A body of water or waterbody is any significant accumulation of water on the surface of Earth or another planet.

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. Bank (geography) and channel (geography) are fluvial landforms and water streams.

Coast

A coastalso called the coastline, shoreline, or seashoreis the land next to the sea or the line that forms the boundary between the land and the ocean or a lake.

A continental shelf is a portion of a continent that is submerged under an area of relatively shallow water, known as a shelf sea.

Current (hydrology)

In hydrology, a current in a stream or other water body is the flow of water influenced by gravity as the water moves downhill to reduce its potential energy. Bank (geography) and current (hydrology) are hydrology, rivers and water streams.

Deposition (geology)

Deposition is the geological process in which sediments, soil and rocks are added to a landform or landmass.

See Bank (geography) and Deposition (geology)

Discharge (hydrology)

In hydrology, discharge is the volumetric flow rate (volume per time, in units of m3/h or ft3/h) of a stream. Bank (geography) and discharge (hydrology) are hydrology and rivers.

See Bank (geography) and Discharge (hydrology)

Embankment (earthworks)

An embankment is a raised wall, bank or mound made of earth or stones, that are used to hold back water or carry a roadway.

See Bank (geography) and Embankment (earthworks)

Estuary

An estuary is a partially enclosed coastal body of brackish water with one or more rivers or streams flowing into it, and with a free connection to the open sea.

See Bank (geography) and Estuary

Fluvial sediment processes

In geography and geology, fluvial sediment processes or fluvial sediment transport are associated with rivers and streams and the deposits and landforms created by sediments. Bank (geography) and fluvial sediment processes are fluvial landforms, Geomorphology and hydrology.

Freshwater ecosystem

Freshwater ecosystems are a subset of Earth's aquatic ecosystems. Bank (geography) and Freshwater ecosystem are freshwater ecology and Limnology.

See Bank (geography) and Freshwater ecosystem

Geography

Geography (from Ancient Greek γεωγραφία; combining 'Earth' and 'write') is the study of the lands, features, inhabitants, and phenomena of Earth.

See Bank (geography) and Geography

Grade (slope)

The grade (US) or gradient (UK) (also called stepth, slope, incline, mainfall, pitch or rise) of a physical feature, landform or constructed line refers to the tangent of the angle of that surface to the horizontal.

See Bank (geography) and Grade (slope)

Habitat

In ecology, habitat refers to the array of resources, physical and biotic factors that are present in an area, such as to support the survival and reproduction of a particular species.

See Bank (geography) and Habitat

Island

An island or isle is a piece of subcontinental land completely surrounded by water. Bank (geography) and island are fluvial landforms.

See Bank (geography) and Island

Lagoon

A lagoon is a shallow body of water separated from a larger body of water by a narrow landform, such as reefs, barrier islands, barrier peninsulas, or isthmuses.

See Bank (geography) and Lagoon

Lake

A lake is an often naturally occurring, relatively large and fixed body of water on or near the Earth's surface.

See Bank (geography) and Lake

Landform

A landform is a natural or anthropogenic land feature on the solid surface of the Earth or other planetary body.

See Bank (geography) and Landform

Levee

A levee, dike (American English), dyke (Commonwealth English), embankment, floodbank, or stop bank is a structure used to keep the course of rivers from changing and to protect against flooding of the area adjoining the river or coast. Bank (geography) and levee are fluvial landforms and riparian zone.

See Bank (geography) and Levee

Limnology

Limnology is the study of inland aquatic ecosystems. Bank (geography) and Limnology are freshwater ecology and rivers.

See Bank (geography) and Limnology

Marsh

In ecology, a marsh is a wetland that is dominated by herbaceous plants rather than by woody plants. Bank (geography) and marsh are fluvial landforms.

See Bank (geography) and Marsh

Navigation is a field of study that focuses on the process of monitoring and controlling the movement of a craft or vehicle from one place to another.

See Bank (geography) and Navigation

Ocean bank

An ocean bank, sometimes referred to as a fishing bank or simply bank, is a part of the seabed that is shallow compared to its surrounding area, such as a shoal or the top of an underwater hill.

See Bank (geography) and Ocean bank

Paris

Paris is the capital and largest city of France.

See Bank (geography) and Paris

Plateau

In geology and physical geography, a plateau (plateaus or plateaux), also called a high plain or a tableland, is an area of a highland consisting of flat terrain that is raised sharply above the surrounding area on at least one side.

See Bank (geography) and Plateau

Pond

A pond is a small, still, land-based body of water formed by pooling inside a depression, either naturally or artificially.

See Bank (geography) and Pond

Reservoir

A reservoir is an enlarged lake behind a dam, usually built to store fresh water, often doubling for hydroelectric power generation.

See Bank (geography) and Reservoir

Riparian zone

A riparian zone or riparian area is the interface between land and a river or stream. Bank (geography) and riparian zone are freshwater ecology, hydrology, rivers, water and the environment and water streams.

Rive Droite

The Rive Droite (Right Bank) is most commonly associated with the river Seine in central Paris.

Rive Gauche

The Rive Gauche (Left Bank) is the southern bank of the river Seine in Paris.

See Bank (geography) and Rive Gauche

River

A river is a natural flowing freshwater stream, flowing on land or inside caves towards another body of water at a lower elevation, such as an ocean, lake, or another river. Bank (geography) and river are fluvial landforms, Geomorphology, rivers and water streams.

See Bank (geography) and River

Sound (geography)

In geography, a sound is a smaller body of water usually connected to a sea or an ocean.
