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.
What is river velocity?
it is the speed of the flow in a river
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 is the term that describes the course a river follows?
the flow of the river.
What is the name of the route of a river?
Is known as the 'course' or the 'flow'
Why might glaciers might be called river of ice?
Because they flow downhill from their source to the lowest point, usually the ocean, but at a greatly diminished speed of course.
What term describes the speed of the flow of water in a river or a river stream?
velocity
The Rhine and the Danube flow in this country?
Germany. Austria has the Upper Rhine on its borders, but the river does not flow through Austria.
How fast does the lower course of a river flow?
Fairly slow
Where is a rivers velocity the highest?
A river's velocity is typically highest in its upper course, where the gradient is steeper and the channel is narrower. This creates faster flow and higher velocities as the water moves downhill.
How does turbulence affect the speed of a river?
it slows the streams flow
What landforms do the upper course of the river have?
V-shaped valleys The river channel - vertical erosion, shallow but a very fast flow Waterfalls Gorges(which are formed by waterfalls) Bedload is also very big and angular.
