It flows slower because when a river goes down it flows faster because gravity is helping it and when its on a flat area it doesn't move as fast because gravity isn't help pull the water down therefore making it slower.
When a river floods it water will flow faster then the normal speed.

The advantage of having slower blood flow in some areas of the body is simple. If blood isn't going to theses areas they are going to more important areas of the body like the brain.
Silt settles out of water more readily in flat areas because there is less turbulence to keep it suspended. In flat land, water flow is usually slower, allowing silt particles to settle to the bottom. Silt is also more likely to accumulate in low-lying areas where water pools and has less opportunity to flow.
Well....... It depends. If the river is really big and wide, and there are hardly any plants growing in it, and there are no rocks and the river is on a plain, then it will probably flow really fast. If the river is atiny little stream in the mountains, then it will probably flow slower. It all depends on the river
If the river is moving slower than ~0.01 cm/sec, then clay may be found in the river bed. If it is slower than ~0.3 cm/sec, then silt may be found. Any faster and the clay and silt would be deposited at the mouth of the river where the velocity decreases greatly.
A young river typically has a fast flow rate, steep gradient, and v-shaped valley, while a mature river has a slower flow rate, gentle gradient, and wide, flat valley. Young rivers are more erosive, carrying a lot of sediment, while mature rivers have a more stable channel and deposit sediment.
The areas of sediment deposit where a river's mouth reaches flat land at the bottom of a mountain are known as alluvial fans. Alluvial fans are cone-shaped landforms that are created by the deposition of sediment carried by rivers as they flow from steep mountain terrain to flatter regions. The sediment is deposited at the base of the mountain due to a decrease in flow velocity as the river enters the flatter area.
The Paraguay River flows through lowland areas in South America, specifically in countries like Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina. Its course passes through the Gran Chaco region, which is known for its flat and low-lying plains.
You are more likely to see a river in a plain region. Rivers typically originate from higher elevations, such as mountains, and flow downhill into lower-lying areas like plains. While rivers can exist in both mountain and plain regions, they are more prevalent and prominent in plain regions due to the flatter terrain that allows for slower and more meandering flow.
river watershed
A river's flow tends to slow down on reaching a flat valley floor. It is here that the river may meander, creating bends and ox-bow lakes.
