User: parts of a river

Weegy: The bed of a river is the surface upon which it flows. Its banks are the sides that hold it in bounds. Right bank and left bank are terms frequently misunderstood. [ The right bank is on the right of an observer looking downstream (in the direction in which the river flows), the left bank on the observer's left. A river begins at its source or headwater usually in a lake, spring, glacier, snowfield, swamp, or marsh—and flows to its mouth. A mouth is the point at which a river enters and ends in a larger body of water. The Mississippi, for example, has its source in Minnesota's Lake Itasca and its mouth in the Gulf of Mexico. The course of a river is its path, which follows line of lowest elevation between the source and the end of the stream. Courses are often divided into three sections: the upper course, or that nearest the source; the middle course; and the lower course, that nearest the mouth. The channel, depending on how the word is used, is either the river's bed or the line of deepest water throughout the river's course. ]

User: characteristics of a river

Weegy: River Features are elements of the landscape produced by fluvial processes-that is, the action of running water as it flows through the channels forming the drainage network of a river basin, eroding, transporting, and depositing sediment. [ (Source from Microsoft Encarta Encyclopedia 2001) A useful way to study a river is to look at its long profile and its cross sectional profile. The long profile of a river is a section drawn along the length of a river from its source to its mouth. Usually, a long profile has three parts: Upper course or mountain tract Middle course or valley tract Lower course or plain tract However, in Hong Kong most of the rivers are short and their gradients change abruptly. These rivers have two courses only, the upper and lower courses. Not all rivers have three well-defined stages. Some reach base level direct from stage 1 (Base level is the lowest level down to where a river can erode). Others arise amid lowlan... [to view the full essay now, purchase below] ]
