Bar (river morphology)
A
bar
in a
river
is an elevated region of
sediment
(such as
sand
or
gravel
) that has been
deposited
by the flow. Types of bars include
mid-channel bars
(also called
braid bars
, and common in
braided rivers
),
point bars
(common in
meandering rivers
), and
mouth bars
(common in
river deltas
). Bars are typically found in the slowest moving, shallowest parts of rivers and
streams
, and are often parallel to the shore and occupy the area farthest from the
thalweg
.
