- Interlocking_spur abstract "An interlocking spur is a natural geographical feature that occurs in the upper course of a river in which vertical erosion is the dominant force determining the river's course. As a river wanders between banks that are far apart, the promontories of the hills tend to jut out into the river valley resulting in a staggered formation, interlocked together somewhat like the teeth of a zip. These promontories are referred to as interlocking spurs.If the river valley is subsequently subject to glaciation, the glacier shears off the tips of the interlocking spurs, due to its straighter course, creating truncated spurs.While similar in general appearance, the mechanism behind the formation of interlocking spurs is different from that behind meanders, which arise out of a combination of horizontal erosion and deposition.Interlocking SpursExamples:Middle Liffey/Lee/Fergus/Erne.These are overlapping edge of high ground which interlock in a V-shaped valley and prevent a clear view of the river's channel. They project from the both sides of a valley. They are formed when river water is forced to flow around obstacles of hard rock creating erosion on the outside of a bend. The interlocking spurs create a zigzag (winding)course.".
