The upper course of a river

The upper course of a river is usually
steep and narrow. current - The flow of
water, in a river or stream, being pulled by
gravity as the water moves downhill.
erosion - When a material, like rock,
wears away over time. The powerful water
in a river's upper course causes lots of
erosion in the landscape.

The middle course

The middle course of a river has more
energy and volume than in the upper
course. The gradient is gentler and more
lateral (sideways) erosion widens the
channel. The river channel has also
become deeper. Meanders are typical
landforms found in this stage of the river.
