Question

A river is capable of forming which of the following landscapes when the river is in its middle course?

• A. Waterfalls
• B. A delta
• C. V shaped valley
• D. A meander

Answer 1

Answer:

D. A meander

• The middle course is typically characterized by a decrease in gradient (slope) and a reduction in velocity compared to the upper course. While erosion still occurs, deposition becomes increasingly significant. • In this stage, the river has more energy to transport larger sediment loads. The valley widens, and the river channel becomes more sinuous.
