The acids and the moving water erode the banks and the bottom of the river.
What else can I help you with?
Do all rivers follow the same pattern?
No some rivers can become wider, smaller, deeper and narrower. not all of them follow the same pattern.
What river erodes its channel wider rather than deeper?
A mature river erodes its channel wider rather than deeper. The gradient of a mature river is less steep than young rivers, and the water flows more smoothly. Examples of mature rivers are the Thames, Mississippi, and Ohio rivers.
What are the characteristics of mature rivers?
mature rivers are wider insted of deeper. the gradient isn't that steep. mature rivers have few water falls and have many tributaries . they have more load then younger rivers.
How do rivers get deeper and wider?
They get wider by wheatering out the surronding rocks , erosion.
What kind of river erodes the channel deeper rather than wider?
A river that erodes its channel deeper rather than wider is typically classified as a narrow, steep-gradient river, often found in mountainous or hilly regions. These rivers possess a high flow velocity, which increases the force of water against the riverbed, leading to vertical erosion. This process deepens the channel as sediment is carried away from the bottom rather than from the sides. Consequently, such rivers create V-shaped valleys, contrasting with wider, meandering rivers that erode laterally.
Is the lower course of a river the widest and why?
Usually yes, because it has more water to store, therefore more erosion, which makes it deeper and wider.
What Mature rivers?
Is a river with a gradient that is less steep than those of youthful rivers and flows more slowly. It is fed by many tributaries and has more discharge than a youthful river and its channels erode wider rather than deeper.
What are the 5 hypothesis of a river?
a river gets wider from source to mouth a river gets deeper from source to mouth a rivers load gets smoother from source to mouth a rivers load gets smaller from source to mouth the velocity of a river stays the same from source to mouth
How do youthful river and mature rivers and old rivers differ?
youthful river:erodes deeper than widerit flows quicklynarrow and straightfew tributariesmature river:erodes wider than deepernot steephas many tributariesold river:has little erosive energywidehave few tributaries than the mature river
What is a river that erodes its channel wider rather than deeper?
mature.
