Courses of a river
The river is divided into 3 different parts.
1. Upper Course – This part is closest to the source of the river. The land is usually high and mountainous. The river is fast flowing in this part.
2. Middle Course – In this part the river starts to slow down. It gets wider and starts travelling in winding loops. There is a lot of erosion, deposition and transportation.
3. Lower Course – It is the last course of the river. In this part, the river approaches the sea. The speed of the river is the slowest in this part.
Activity
Teacher ask the Students to discuss in groups about the erosional and depositional features and various landforms of water.
