Multiple Choice

River characteristics at the lower course:

It has the highest discharge among the three courses.

a. The channel here accommodates ___________ water than that of the upper and middle course. The lower course has the highest energy.

• more

• less

Multiple Choice

b. The river bed is __________.

• smooth

• rugged

Multiple Choice

b. The river bed is smooth, so the friction here is greatly _________.

Multiple Choice

b. The river bed is smooth, so the friction here is greatly reduced. Therefore, the flows are at a _________ speed.

• high

• low

Multiple Choice

The answer for this question is ...

• A

• B

• C

• D

The favourable conditions for the formation of delta

• 1. The river must carry a large amount of sediment [ e.g. –Deforestation upstream; –Erosion in upper course produces more load; –Absence of lakes along the river course]

• 2. The sea must have a small tidal range and weak currents which favour deposition. [i.e. weak wave erosion, eg. gentle offshore gradient, shallow coastal water]

The favourable conditions for the formation of delta

• 3. The rate of deposition is faster than the rate of removal of deposits [ i.e. erosion] [deposition will be easier with the presence of mangrove and with gentler gradient]

• 4. The sea must be calm at the mouth of the river and is sheltered.
