A ''riverscape'' or ''river landscape'' comprises the features of the landscape which can be found along a river. Along the upper course of a river, these include: *Waterfall *Gorge Along the lower course of a river, these include: *Meander *Oxbow lake *Flood plain *Levee *River delta A riverine is a landscape formed by the natural movement of a water system such as a river. A riverine landscape includes the ecosystems (all living things including plants and animals) in and around the area of a river. A riverine may also be defined as a network of rivers and surrounding land. Riverine landscapes are excellent for agricultural uses such as farming because the land is rich and fertile. They are a valuable resource for growing food. Landforms: * Flood plain – a low-lying area regularly flooded by a river * Riverbed – a channel in which the river flows *Billabong – an arm of a river which forms a pool, only joining with a river in times of flooding 〔http://lib.oup.com.au/secondary/geography/Big_Ideas_Geography/8/Oxford-Big-Ideas-Geography-8-ch1-Landforms-and-landscapes.pdf〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Riverscape」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
