2 Round 1 - River Processes

3 1. River basin features.... Name the features A – G Using the word box below Word box Drainage basin Confluence Source Tributary Mouth Channel Watershed Rivers: from source to mouth http://www.gatm.org.uk/geogra phyatthemovies/rivers.html

5 7. Match the types of river erosion with their definitions... 1.the force of the river against the banks can cause air to be trapped in cracks and crevices. The pressure weakens the banks and gradually wears it away. 2. rocks carried along by the river wear down the river bed and banks. 3. rocks being carried by the river smash together and break into smaller and smoother particles. 4. soluble particles are dissolved into the river.

15 1. River basin features.... Name the features A – G Using the word box below Word box Drainage basin - E Confluence - G Source - A Tributary - B Mouth - D Channel - F Watershed - C Rivers: from source to mouth http://www.gatm.org.uk/geogra phyatthemovies/rivers.html

16 What do the following terms mean? 2. Velocity – speed of the river 3. Erosion – wearing away of weathered material 4. Weathering – breaking up/down of rocks 5. Transportation – movement of weathered/eroded material 6. Deposition – dropping/dumping of transported material

17 7. Match the types of river erosion with their definitions... 1. the force of the river against the banks can cause air to be trapped in cracks and crevices. The pressure weakens the banks and gradually wears it away. 2. rocks carried along by the river wear down the river bed and banks. 3. rocks being carried by the river smash together and break into smaller and smoother particles. 4. soluble particles are dissolved into the river.

18 8. What types of weathering to the pictures below show? Freeze-thaw weathering OR Mechanical/Physical weathering

20 9. Name the way in which a river can transport material Suspension – fine, light material is carried along the river Solution – minerals are dissolved in the water Traction – large boulders are rolled along the river bed Saltation – small pebbles and stones are bounced along the river bed SOLUTION SALTATION TRACTION SUSPENSION

21 Round 2 – River landforms GATM Upper Course LandformsMiddle Course LandformsLower Course Landforms A, E, FB, DB,C 10 - Put the river landform into the correct course of the river!

22 Round 3 – How do theses processes and landforms affect the lives of people living along the river? Social Economic Environmental More jobs More money spent in the area Anti-social behaviour Increased traffic Litter Hotels cause eyesores Habitats destroyed
