What you'll learn

Each question helps you build key knowledge and skills.

  • 1A river begins at its source, often high up in hills or mountains, and flows downhill towards the sea.
  • 2The water cycle constantly moves water between the oceans, atmosphere and land through evaporation, condensation and precipitation.
  • 3A drainage basin is the area of land drained by a river and all of its tributaries.
  • 4As a river flows, it erodes, transports and deposits material, shaping landforms such as waterfalls, meanders and floodplains.
  • 5Flooding happens when a river receives more water than its channel can hold, and this can be managed using different flood defences.
