 Termination (geomorphology)

In geomorphology, "termination" refers to the point at which a landform, such as a river, glacier, or slope, ends or transitions into another type of landform. It can be associated with various processes and features, including the end of a river where it meets a lake or ocean (river termination), the snout of a glacier where it melts or calves into the sea, or the base of a hillside where soil or sediment accumulation occurs.
