Question 13

What course are narrow river channels in?

Answer 13

They are in the upper course.

Question 14

What is a waterfall?

Answer 14

A waterfall is in the upper course and the water falls down the hard rock and falls to the soft rock however that wares away. The soft rock gets smaller and the water travels faster as it falls deeper.

Question 15

What are Gorges?

Answer 15

Gorges are waterfalls however on top the hard rock wares away and the soft rock erodes faster. This makes it smaller and deeper. They are narrow and they are in between mountains. They are lower course.

Question 16

What are meanders and ox bow lakes?

Answer 16

Meanders are rivers and the ware away from the power of the water and it bends. The channel widens as more water goes sideways. It then becomes deposition and the friction makes the water travel faster. It then detaches and becomes an ox bow lake and it becomes a new channel. They are lower course.

Question 17

What are v shaped valleys?

Answer 17

V shaped valleys are upper course and they erode and become different shapes as they get deeper. The water travels and it erodes and breaks the material. The water the becomes different heights as the material breaks.

Question 18

What are interlocking Spurs?

Answer 18

Interlocking Spurs are upper course and they travel with water between hills or mountains. They are narrow and they travel thought the material in a river path.

Question 19

What are floodplains?

Question 20

What are levees?

Answer 20

Levees are flood controls that are natural and any waste from the river banks are able to collect water. It can prevent floods from coming because of the material. It is lower course and the floods increase the size of the banks. The sediment would build up and the water level would get higher. The height of the levees are increased by the authorities and the strength is also changed.

Question 21

What are deltas?

Answer 21

Deltas are near the mouth of the sea and deposition forms it. The water would slow down and the sediment would drop which would create landforms. It is called distributary channels and they are separate to the shoreline. This is in the lower course and the sediment builds land and the waste builds up in between the distributary channels.
