Y10 River fieldwork intro

How would you describe the channel at the upper course of the river?

• Deep

• Shallow

• Narrow

• Wide

When the velocity of the river decreases, it no longer has enough energy to carry its sediment. The sediment will be dropped at the river bed/river bank. Which process is this?

• Erosion

• Deposition

• Transportation

• Saltation

• Lateral Erosion

True/False: The greater the energy a river carries, the higher the rate of river erosion.

• True

• False

_______________ is responsible for making the river deeper and wider.

• Erosion

• Transportation

• Deposition

• Suspension

What is the key term for numerical data?

• Quantitative data

• Qualitative data

• Primary data

• Secondary data

What is the name of the theory which hypothesises how changes occur in a river downstream?

• Brad Model

• Chadshaw Model

• Bradshaw Model

• Bradsaw Model

Which question should be asked when choosing the location of a site to be investigated which is suitable for the fieldwork to take place?

• Can the river be accessed easily?

• Is the river small enough to be seen?

Which of these is likely to increase downstream, according to the Bradshaw Model?

• Average load size

• Gradient

• River velocity

• Vertical erosion

Which of these is likely to increase by the most downstream, according to the Bradshaw Model?

• Channel width

• Channel depth

• Velocity

• Discharge

Which sort of diagram would be drawn using river width and depth measurements?
