Multiple Choice

The amount of the channel water is ( large / small ).

• large

• small

Multiple Choice

The catchment area at the upper course is (large / small ).

• large

• small

Multiple Choice

The no. of tributaries at the upper course is (large / small).

• large

• small

Multiple Choice

The speed is lower because the river channels is (large / small)

• large

• small

Multiple Choice

The speed is lower because the river channels is small and (wide / narrow).

• wide

• narrow

Multiple Choice

The river channel is also very ( rough / smooth).

• rough

• smooth

Multiple Choice

Thus, the wetted perimeter is (long / short).

• long

• short

Although the river energy is the lowest in the upper course of river, EROSION is the major fluvial process.

Multiple Choice

Which direction of erosion is more dominant in the upper course of the river?

• headward erosion

• vertical erosion

• lateral erosion

With the limited amount of energy to carry out erosion, what kind of fluvial landforms can be found at the upper course?

IS stands for interlocking spurs.

Multiple Choice

Which of the following pairs are spurs?

• A. 1 and 2 only

• B. 1 and 3 only

• C. 2 and 3 only

• D. 3 and 4 only

Open Ended

Describe the appearance of this fluvial landform.

How does it form?

Multiple Choice

Which type of fluvial erosion is involved in deepening and widening the potholes?

• hydraulic action

• attrition

• abrasion

• solution

Multiple Choice

Why do loads become rounder and smaller?

• hydraulic action

• attrition

• abrasion

• solution

A river flows over bands of rocks with different resistance.

Overtime, the step becomes large. River flows over the channel with a sudden increase in velocity as a waterfall.

Open Ended

How can a waterfall be beneficial to human activities?

Open Ended

How can a waterfall be harmful to human activities?

The Grand Canyon, USA (tectonic activities + erosion)
