Answers
Answer:

in the second stage river slows downs and developed loops called meanders
in the third stage the river forms trigular shaped !and called delta and goin to sea or oceans.
The journey of any river can be defined by the stage it's in.
The Stages of a River:
Nearly all rivers have an upper, middle, and lower course.
1.Young River - the upper course
The beginning of a river, when it flows quickly with lots of energy, is called a young river. The river here is smaller and usually has a rapid, tumbling flow that cuts a narrow channel through rocky hills or mountains.
The fast flowing river can create waterfalls where it carves out layers of soft rock and leaves a cliff of hard rock standing.
2. Middle Aged River - the middle course
The middle of a river’s journey, when it gets wider and slows down, is called the middle age.Rivers often meander (follow a winding path) along their middle course.
The current of the river no longer has the force to carry stones or gravel. This material drops to the riverbed, where it forms bars of sand or gravel or builds islands.
3. Old River - the lower course
When the river reaches the end of its journey, it is called an old river. The end of the river is called the mouth.
