What are physical characteristics of a river?
The physical characteristics of a river vary according to age. In a young river, one would expect to find a steep gradient (slope), high discharge, rapids, steep sides, no floodplain, and a lot of downcutting. In a mature river, one would expect to find a medium gradient, meadows, some meanders (bends in the river path), a narrow floodplain, lateral erosion, and medium discharge. In an old river, one would expect to find large meanders, a wide floodplain, more lateral erosion, and low discharge.
What are the stages of a river?
