Abstract

Various schemes of within-year transformations of rifts from spring flood to low-water period and autumn freshets have been considered. Such transformations have been shown to manifest themselves in the displacement of rift trough from the upper to the lower point bars, accumulation of sediments in one phase of water regime and erosion of ridges in the other phase, as well as in the advancement of ridge-type micro- and meso-forms of channel relief onto rift saddle. Differences have been revealed between the regimes of rifts composed of sand and pebble-boulder sediments; specific features were identified in the regime of rifts in rivers in permafrost zones and rifts with rock protrusions on the bed.
