In a river valley slate goes into the hillside on one side and into the valley on the other what does this cross section look like? if a road was being placed in the base of a river valley wall what side of the river should the cut be taken considering foliation and overall rock weakness?

Cross-profiles of a river:
Cross profiles of a river show you a cross-section, taken sideways, of a channel of the river and valley at certain points in the course of rivers.
A channel cross-profile only includes the river whereas a river valley cross-profile includes the channel sub stream , tributaries, the valley floor and the sides of the valley.
The structural features of rocks, provisionally those of sedimentary rock and metamorphic origin, have very important bearing upon the design of cuts as well as on the stability of the road side rivers as a whole.
