The Long River Profile and upper course landforms

Question 1

What is the Long profile river?

Answer 1

A section of the course of a river drawn from source to mouth.
is a line representing the river from its source (where it starts) to its mouth (where it meets the sea). It shows how the river changes over its course.

Question 2

What is the Upper course?

Answer 2

in the upper course, where the river starts, there is often an upland area. The river’s
load
is large in the upper course, as it hasn’t been broken down by erosion yet.

Question 3

What is the lower course?

Answer 3

in the lower course, the land is a lot flatter. The river’s load is fine sediment, as erosion has broken down the rocks.

Question 4

What landforms do you find in the upper course of a river?

Answer 4

Upper course river include steep-sided V-shaped valleys, interlocking spurs, rapids, waterfalls and gorges.

Question 5

How is the formation of a shaped valley?

Answer 5

River cuts down and erodes its
valley. And then River deepens and widens
its valley. as the rocks scrape the valley they make it deeper.

Question 6

what are interlocking spurs?

Answer 6

Interlocking spurs are projections of high land that alternate from either side of a V-shaped valley. ~~~~~~
