Rivers in different landscapes
A river is a moving body of fresh water. The route a river takes is called the course. Rivers flow through many different landscapes.
1 WORK WITH THE PICTURE. Imagine you take a boat from the source of this river to its mouth. What can you see? Is the land high or low? Is the river wide or narrow, fast or slow?
Rivers in the mountains
All rivers begin in the mountains at the source. They flow down through valleys. Here, rivers are narrow. They carry little water. They flow fast.
Rivers on the plains
Rivers are wider here. They carry a lot of water. They get water from tributaries, small rivers that flow into larger rivers. The course is full of bends, called meanders.
Rivers on the coast
The end of a river is called the mouth. Here, rivers meet the sea. Rivers flow slowly at the mouth.
