What you'll learn

Each question helps you build key knowledge and skills.

  • 1Rivers change character along their long profile, moving from a steep, narrow upper course to a wide, flat lower course.
  • 2Erosion processes such as hydraulic action, abrasion, attrition and solution wear away the riverbed and banks.
  • 3Material is transported by traction, saltation, suspension and solution, and deposited when the river loses energy.
  • 4Distinctive landforms such as waterfalls and interlocking spurs form in the upper course, while meanders, ox-bow lakes and floodplains form in the lower course.
  • 5Hydrographs show how a river's discharge responds to rainfall, and features such as lag time and peak discharge help geographers assess flood risk.
