Describe the cross profile of a river's lower course?
As a river continues its journey towards the sea, the valley cross section continues to become wider and flatter with an extensive floodplain either side of the channel. The river erodes laterally and deposition also becomes important. By the time it reaches the lower course the river is wider and deeper and may contain a large amount of suspended sediment.
Which are the 3 stages of long profile of a river?
A river profile includes being steeper near the source, where there is a lot more material for the river to cut through before reaching the base level. As the water goes further down the river, the river begins to cut laterally.
What are characteristics of downcutting streams and a youthful stage of valley evolution?
Rapids and numerous whitewater are characteristics of downcutting and a youthful stage of valley evolution. Other characteristics include rough or irregular channels and V-shaped valleys.

What is the difference between the long profile and the cross profile of the river?
A cross section of a river would describe or show what is in the river from the top to the bottom. A long profile shows what is in it from one end to the other, that is, from the tributaries to the mouth.
