✳Examinations ✳
❣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.
❣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.
❣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.
➡️At the mouth, there is often a river delta, a large, silty area where the river splits into many different slow-flowing channels that have muddy banks.
➡️The photograph below show the sediment (mud) that the Darent has brought with it on its journey to the River Thames.
