As mentioned, when a river rejuvenates, it gains more energy and erodes vertically to meet its new base level. A river terrace is the remains of an old floodplain at a higher elevation than the present one. It typically results from river rejuvenation with further rejuvenation able to form new terraces, resulting in a step like profile around a ...
Black River is a 4.2-mile-long (6.8 km) [2] river in the southwest part of the U.S. state of Michigan that empties into Lake Michigan in South Haven at 1] where it discharges past the South Pier Lighthouse. The river takes its name from the dark brown color of its water, which is caused by suspended sediments and organic materials picked up ...

A drop in base level causes a response by the river system to carve into the landscape. This incision begins at the formation of a knickpoint, and its upstream migration depends heavily upon the drainage area (and so the discharge of the river), material through which it cuts, and how large the drop in base level was.

The river is flowing on bedrock in the upper image, but because sediment was deposited over time the riverbed has risen. This has caused the house to be buried in the lower image. Aggradation (or alluviation) is the term used in geology for the increase in land elevation, typically in a river system, due to the deposition of sediment.
Rapidly rising water overtook dams and forced the evacuation of about 10,000 people in central Michigan.
A circle of spinning ice was spotted on the Crystal River in Michigan's northern lower peninsula last week. The footage shows the perfect circle of ice slowly spinning in the middle of the river.
