Answer:

features of river are:-

1.Meanders occur in the mid course and lower course of the river, where it is beginning to cut laterally as it gets closer to base level. Meanders are basically bends in the river, where the faster water on the outside of the bend has cut into the bank, eroding it and creating a river cliff.

2. In the upper course of the river, it cuts rapidly downwards, as the river puts almost all of its energy towards cutting down to base level. This causes the most distinctive river feature, the V-shaped valley. Rocks and other material are washed into the river from the steep valley sides during times of heavy rainfall, adding to the material being carried by the river.

functions of river are:-

1.Rivers carry water and nutrients to areas all around the earth. They play a very important part in the water cycle, acting as drainage channels for surface water.

2.Rivers provide excellent habitat and food for many of the earth's organisms.

Destructive power of river are:-

1.When a river overflows its banks or the sea drives inland, structures poorly equipped to withstand the water's strength are no match.

2.The erosive force of moving water can drag dirt from under a building's foundation, causing it to crack and tumble.
