According to Nichols<ref>Nichols, Gary. 2009. Sedimentology and Stratigraphy Second Edition. West Sussex: John Wiley & Sons Ltd.</ref> there are 3 major kinds of river based on the sinuosity channels, bars, and the number of channels. They are meandering (single-channel), braided (multiple-channel), and anastomosing rivers. Later on, meandering river will form a characteristic morphology, called oxbow lake. In braided river, deposition of sand and gravel grain sizes happens around the channel.
