How many types of river courses are there?
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.
What are 2 characteristics of a old age river?
Meandering course: Old age rivers have a winding and meandering course with gentle gradients as they have eroded their valleys over time. Wide floodplains: Old age rivers typically have wide floodplains due to their ability to transport and deposit sediments over many years, resulting in a broad and flat area alongside the river.
Which stage of river development is characterized by flat flood plains?
The mature stage of river development is characterized by flat flood plains where the river meanders and deposits sediment. In this stage, the river has a large volume of water and is more stable, leading to the creation of wide flood plains.
How did the Mississippi River change course?
The Mississippi River changed course in 1876 due to a combination of natural factors, such as flooding and erosion. A massive flood caused the river to break through its natural levee, creating a new channel known as the Yazoo River; this shift redirected the flow of the Mississippi.
Where does the river flow quitely in the upper course of the river or 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.

Is the area drained by a river called a flood plain?
No, the area drained by a river is a river basin or drainage basin. The flood plain is in the lower valley reaches, where heavy rain can cause the river to flood, often bursting over flood defences, and for the water to flood over a large area.

What are the solution to the flood?
