Romanian term or phrase: \"rifluri\"
Buna ziua,

As avea nevoie de traducerea cuvantului "rifluri" in limba engleza.

"De asemenea, depunerile aluvionare pot îngreuna săparea de canale şi întreţinerea acestora întrucât pe fundul albiilor depunerile pot forma rifluri, dune sau chiar bare fluviale, care modifică regimul de navigaţie în zonele lor."

Va multumesc anticipat pt. orice ajutor acordat!

"When a wind or water current flows across loose sand, the sand is dragged along the bottom and frequently is piled up to form ripples and dunes. The main difference between a ripple and dune is size, with dunes being taller than about 10 cm." http://www.pitt.edu/~cejones/GeoImages/5SedimentaryRocks/Sed...
