In earth science, the renewal of a river's powers of downward erosion. It may be caused by a fall in sea level or a rise in land level, or by the increase in water flow that results when one river captures another (river capture).
Several river features are formed by rejuvenation. For example, as a river cuts down into its channel it will leave its old floodplain perched up on the valley side to form a river terrace. Meanders (bends in the river) become deeper and their sides more steep, forming incised meanders, and waterfalls and rapids become more common.
The act of gradually lowering the size or amount.
