features
source is the place where a river begins
tributary is a stream or river that joins a larger river
flood plane is an area that gets covered with water when the river floods
river basin is the land that water flows across
confluence is a point where a river joins a larger one
estuary is part of the river mouth that is tilde
delta is a fan shaped area of land found at the mouth of the river
mouth is the place where the river enters the sea
land forms off a mature river
wide valley - the erosion occurs sideways instead of vertically
flood plane - is an area of flat land of either side of the river
covered in fertile soil called alluvium
meanders - a winding curve or bend in a river
stages of the river
the course is = the journey a river takes from its source to its mouth
upper coerce small river that flows down a steep slope erodes downwards v shaped vally
middle coerce larger river that flows down gentile slopes and erodes sideways meander
lower coerce large river it flows on flat slopes and deposits lots of material ox bow lake
processes
river erodes landscape
hydraulic action
abrasion,attrition
solution
transportation
traction large stones are rolled and dragged along the river bed
saltation where the mall pebbles are bonused along the river bed
suspension
solution
river deposition flat ground enters a lake or sea meander
deposition river drops material as its carrying it
land forms off an old river
levees - a build up of alluvium. this is caused by floods
ox bow lake - is where a horse shew shaped lake are found on the flood plans of an old river
delta - fan shaped area of land found at the mouth of an area of river
land forms of the youthful river
interlocking spurs - areas of high ground that juts out on each side of the river
waterfall the waterfall occurs when a river flows over a vertical slope
hard and soft rock
the bottom of the waterfall is call the plunge pool
fast flowing and will always lead to the sea
