The River Tees SourceUpper Course
2
Return Source Create an action button/image on slide 1 in an appropriate location linking to this slide. What is the Source of the Tees? An area of spongy land north-west of cow green reservoir. What altitude does it start at? 600 Meters Which Hills cause High Levels of relief rainfall in the area? Pennine Hills What is the Annual Rainfall in the area? 1200mm What type of soil releases water to create a stream? Sponge

Upper course Create an action button/image on slide 1 in an appropriate location linking to this slide. Return What form is it already starting to cut? A v shape What material is it carrying? Sediment What are the 3 types of material being carried? Solute load, Suspended load, Bed load What are the rocks like just 5km from the source/What has happened to the bed load? Nothing sharp is left in the river, the bedload has been smoothed. What is most powerful in this section? And why?
4
Cow Green Reservoir Return Create an action button/image on slide 1 in an appropriate location linking to this slide. Built between 1967 and 1971. The water in the dam often freezes over in winter making it a difficult habitat for some animals. Beyond the dam there is a 200 feet rocky stream called the cauldron snout. It holds back 40 million litres of water.
5
High Force Waterfall Return Create an action button/image on slide 1 in an appropriate location linking to this slide. What is the Tees’ flow rate? 20 Cubic meters per second What is its height? 29 Meters What are the two different rock types? Igneous and Metamorphic Length of the gorge is now? 700 meters
6
Middle Course Return Create an action button/image on slide 1 in an appropriate location linking to this slide. What is common land use along this part of the river? Agriculture What happens as the altitude of the river drops? Arable crops are grown, and meanders are formed. What % of land is used farming? 90% What % of a river’s energy is lost? And due to what in the middle course? 95% What happens to the sum total of a river’s energy as it moves down stream It decreases
7
Meander Return Create an action button/image on slide 1 in an appropriate location linking to this slide. 1)Which side of the bend does the river run fastest? 2)Where is material eroded from, and what types of erosion are prevalent? 3)Where is material deposited? 4)What landform can these Meanders form eventually? Runs Fastest
