RIVER

RIVER

•  Rivers are made up of some easily recognisable parts, which are shown in Figure 1: River bed: 

The bottom surface of the river, which the water flows on top. Source: Where the river starts from, usually a lake, glacier, snowfield or spring.

• Upper-course river features include steep-sided V-shaped valleys, interlocking spurs, rapids, waterfalls and gorges.
•  Middle-course river features include wider, shallower valleys, meanders, and oxbow lakes.
•  Lower-course river features include wide flat-bottomed valleys, floodplains and deltas.

The beginning of a river. The start of a river is called the source or head water. The part of the river that is near the source is called a 'young' river.

•  A young riveris often in a V-shaped river bed, and flows quickly downhill over stones, and around big rocks.
