Abstract from DBPedia
    In geography and geology, fluvial processes are associated with rivers and streams and the deposits and landforms created by them. When the stream or rivers are associated with glaciers, ice sheets, or ice caps, the term glaciofluvial or fluvioglacial is used.

    河川作用（かせんさよう、英語: fluvial process）は、河川などの流水による作用の総称であり、河床における侵食作用・運搬作用・堆積作用が含まれる。氷河や氷床によるものを含める場合もあり、その際は特にglaciofluvialやfluvioglacialなどの用語が使用される。
