A young river typically has a fast flow rate, steep gradient, and v-shaped valley, while a mature river has a slower flow rate, gentle gradient, and wide, flat valley. Young rivers are more erosive, carrying a lot of sediment, while mature rivers have a more stable channel and deposit sediment.

Is a youth river always younger than a mature river?

Mature river is a river with a gradient that is less steep than those of youthful rivers and flows more slowly than youthful rivers. A mature river is fed by many tributaries and has more discharge than a youthful river. Its channels erode wider rather than deeper. An example being the Mississippi River. Youthful river is a river with a steep gradient that has very few tributaries and flows quickly. Its channels erode deeper rather than wider. An example being the Ebro River.
