{{short description|Characteristic geometry of a channel system}}
[[Channel (geography)|Channel]] patterns are found in [[river]]s, streams, and other bodies of water that transport water from one place to another. Systems of branching river channels dissect most of the sub-aerial landscape, each in a valley proportioned to its size. Whether formed by chance or necessity, by headward [[erosion]] or downslope convergence, whether inherited or newly formed.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.primaryhomeworkhelp.co.uk/rivers/stages.html|title=The Stages of a River|website=www.primaryhomeworkhelp.co.uk|access-date=2017-05-16}}</ref> Depending on different geological factors such as weathering, erosion, depositional environment, and [[sediment]] type, different types of channel patterns can form.
