Paired Terraces: A terrace on the same level of either side of a stream or river. This occurs when the water downcuts evenly on both side of a valley.
Meander: A bend or a loop in a streams course
V-Shaped Valley: An erosional feature created by a stream. A stream erodes a fairly narrow path through the landscape, often trying to get to the base level. If the rock it is cutting through is weak and breaks away easily then it will most likely cause a steep v-shaped valley with more rock cut away at the top and less at the bottom.
Interfluve: A region of higher land between two rivers that are in the same drainage system.
Divide: A division or split of a drainage system by higher land that causes them to drain into different bodies of water.
