The lower course of a river is characterized by a wide, meandering channel and a gentle gradient, leading to slower water flow. This section often features extensive floodplains, deltas, and sediment deposition, as the river approaches its mouth and empties into larger bodies of water like lakes or oceans. Additionally, the lower course is typically where human activity is concentrated, with cities and agriculture commonly found in these fertile areas.
The upper course, the middle course and the lower course
The lower course in the sense of rivers, means that it is now nearing the end of its journey, where all the sediment, and nutrients it has picked up in the 'upper' course is now settling out, and making rich deltas and embankments to grow crops or have farms on. So the lower course of the river is where it is very mellow, and barely moving. And the upper course of the river is where its very fast and turbulent.

I think you are meaning Meanders, large bends in the river system in the lower course of the river.
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.
Twin Rivers Golf Course was created in 1984.
lower course
No, they tend to be found more in the Middle/Lower courses of a river. Where the process of smaller streams or rivers joining the main river is more common, than in the higher upper course.
look there are three courses in a river the upper course, the lower course and the middle course upper course is shallow and fast and as the river rogresses it gets less shallow and less fast
All rivers has meanders at one point, at the lower course. All rivers has three courses. Please read up and research instead of consult strangers here that don't guarantee much help
Yes, of course.
Water moves from higher to lower elevations. The moving water can erode the soil and change the course of the river. Water from the rivers can provide a means of drinking water for cities or a method of transport for cargo.
