    Hi Srikanta, 

    here is your answer for the query 

     

    River bench is a narrow terrace which are gently plunging which is bounded by steeply plunging scarps or other inclined surfaces by above and below.

    So main difference - bench is a narrow long terrace land which is mostly bounded by inclined surfaces from above and below these inclined surfaces may be scarps, scarp is a part of River terraces.

    River terraces are more inclined and small geomorphic features with respect to benches.
