How and why do river features change downstream?
Starter: When you think of rivers…what comes to mind?
Homework: DUE IN TUES 15thFind the definitions, draw a diagram and learn the definition of the following words for a spot test next week.

The river cuts downward to form a ‘V’shaped valley. The river starts
to meander

1.Copy the diagram of the drainage basin on page 66 into your books
2. Add on the information from the next slide onto it
3. draw the 3 different cross sections on the upper middle and lower course pg 65
4. Add on the information from page 66

How does a river change from source to mouth? True or False
• The valley gets narrower
• The gradient gets steeper
• You find interlocking spurs in the upper course
• The watershed is the highland that surrounds the watershed
• Deltas are found at the river’s mouth
• Wide flood plains are found in the upper course
• A confluence is when 2 rivers meet
• Tributaries are bends in rivers
