Lesson details
Lesson outcome
I can describe the characteristics and landforms associated with the middle and lower course of a river.
Show transcript
As the river flows downstream, the gradient becomes flatter and the river becomes wider and deeper.
Landforms such as meanders form in the middle course of a river.
Landforms such as levees, flodplains, estuaries and deltas can be found in the lower course.
Over time oxbow lakes can form when meander loops become cut off following a flood.
Deposition occurs in the lower course and this forms landforms such as deltas and estuaries.
