A river may no longer be able to carry a load across its course due to a decrease in water flow, often caused by drought, upstream water extraction, or changes in precipitation patterns. Additionally, sediment buildup can create shallower areas or bars that obstruct the flow, limiting the river's capacity to transport materials. Environmental changes, such as dam construction, can also disrupt the natural flow, reducing the river's ability to carry its load effectively.

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 the second longest river in France -?
Seine RiverThe Seine river (777 km) is the second-longest river (entirely) in France. The Rhine, the Meuse and the Rhône are longer, but their course within the French territory is shorter.
Why does a river valley become flat in the lower course?
The river valley becomes flat in its lower course due to the levels of erosion occurring in the river itself. In the upper course, the river's energy is used for vertical erosion(downward erosion) in order to get to sea level. That's why you see steep V-shaped valleys or Gorges being formed. However, in the lower course when the river is at sea level, a lot of this erosion becomes lateral(horizontal) which is why you see rivers becoming a lot wider in the lower course. Therefore, because the river is no longer eroding downwards there's no longer a difference in height between it and its valley, so the river valley becomes flat.
How do you solve the team building activity toxic river?
The activity involves getting your team across a "toxic river" and you only have one pair of boots or something to step on that will get you safely across. The key to this activity is that the team must have members carry people over the "toxic river."
