1 degradation and aggradation
2 tributries and distributries
3 weathering and erosion

Reecha Upadhyaya · Accepted Answer

1 degradation and aggradation:

Aggradation refers to the deposition of material eroded from
upstream channel or watershed
Degradation refers to the lowering of the streambed due to
upstream sediment supply deficit

2 tributaries and distributaries:

Distributaries 
is a stream

that branches off and flows away from a main stream
channel

Tributaries is a stream or river that flows into a main
river

3 weathering and erosion:

Weathering 
is the breaking down of
rocks,
soils 
and minerals

Erosion is the removal of rocks and sand from the Earth's surface
by natural processes such as wind or water flow, and then
transported and deposited in other locations
