the river is steeper as the river flows downstream. addie x
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.
it is the speed of the flow in a river
the flow of the river.
Is known as the 'course' or the 'flow'
velocity
Because they flow downhill from their source to the lowest point, usually the ocean, but at a greatly diminished speed of course.
Germany. Austria has the Upper Rhine on its borders, but the river does not flow through Austria.
Fairly slow
it slows the streams flow
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.
yes upper and lower egypt
When a river floods it water will flow faster then the normal speed.
