Gravel bar

A gravel bar is a landform found in rivers or streams where sediments like gravel and rocks are deposited by flowing water. These bars typically form in areas where the water slows down, such as behind rocks or on the inside bends of a river. Over time, sediments settle out of the current and build up, creating a raised area of gravel and stones. Gravel bars can vary in size and shape, and they often serve as important habitats for wildlife, as well as natural features that influence water flow and sediment distribution within the river system.
