at this stage river is in its erosional phase , we can see deep gorge,V -shape valley , canyon, potholes. At this phase the erosional processes are more predominant.

2) mature stage

When river goes into the gentle sloppy region, that time there are both of the things (erosional, depositional ) processes are same at this stage river starts meandering.
