What you need to know

  • A river starts at its source and passes through an upper, a middle and a lower course.
  • The upper course is steeper, and waterfalls can form there.
  • Tributaries join the main river and add to its flow.
  • In the lower course the valley is wider and the river is moving towards its mouth.
