Fairly slow
I think you are meaning Meanders, large bends in the river system in the lower course of the river.
A river usually flows quickly in the upper course, as it is at a higher elevation - mountains streams, waterfalls, etc. In the lower course, it will slow down as the lower elevation means the slope is more horizontal. It is here that the river may start to meander across the valley floor, forming bends, oxbow lakes, and a flood plain.
fast about 20km i think
on the slope down from the top of the river, to the bottom of the river
the flow of the river.
Is known as the 'course' or the 'flow'
in the lower stage
In a river's lower reaches, where the slope is level and the banks wider apart, the flow is able to slow down as the water is able to spread out.
V-shaped valleys The river channel - vertical erosion, shallow but a very fast flow Waterfalls Gorges(which are formed by waterfalls) Bedload is also very big and angular.
There are three main types of river courses: the upper course, middle course, and lower course. The upper course is characterized by steep gradients, where rivers flow rapidly and erode the landscape, creating features like waterfalls and gorges. The middle course has a gentler slope, where rivers meander, deposit sediments, and form features like floodplains and oxbow lakes. The lower course is almost flat, with slow-flowing water, often creating deltas as the river meets a larger body of water.
the river is steeper as the river flows downstream. addie x
The tidal flow is 3-4 knots.
