1 The Drainage Basin Friday, 26 April 2019
LO: To be able to identify, describe and explain the features of a drainage basin

2 Watersheds and drainage basins
Watch the clip which explains this part of our river topic LO: To be able to identify, describe and explain the features of a drainage basin

3 Keywords Unscramble these key words then use the following slides to define them LO: To be able to identify, describe and explain the features of a drainage basin

4 Drainage basin A drainage basin is any area of land where precipitation collects and drains off into a common outlet, such as into a river, bay, or other body of water LO: To be able to identify, describe and explain the features of a drainage basin

5 Source The point at which a river starts.
This is usually high in the hills in v-shaped valleys. LO: To be able to identify, describe and explain the features of a drainage basin

6 The point at which a river ends.
Mouth The point at which a river ends. This is on the coast. At this point the river is slow flowing wide and is surrounded by a flat river valley. LO: To be able to identify, describe and explain the features of a drainage basin

7 A confluence is the meeting of two or more bodies of water.
It usually refers to the point where a tributary joins a more major river called the mainstream. LO: To be able to identify, describe and explain the features of a drainage basin

8 Tributary A tributary is a stream or river which flows into a mainstream or (parent) river and which does not flow directly into a sea. LO: To be able to identify, describe and explain the features of a drainage basin

9 Watershed A watershed is an area or ridge of land that separates waters flowing to different rivers, basins or seas. LO: To be able to identify, describe and explain the features of a drainage basin
