The River Journey
Hey there! I’m Sidney Sediment,
but you can call me Sid.
I’d like to invite you on a little
trip with me today. I’m trying to
make my way to the seaside -
I’m really in need of a holiday.
To get there, we’re going to have
to take a journey down the river.
What’s that? You’ve never taken
the river journey before?
Don’t you worry – I know all the
stages. Stay by my side!
The River Journey
UPPER
MIDDLE
LOWER
The course of a river can be
divided into three sections.
Upper Course
This is the beginning of the river. It’s narrow and has lots of
energy as it flows over rocky ground – hold on tight!
This is the source. It’s the start of the river.
These are tributaries. They are small
streams that flow into the main river.
This is a waterfall. It’s a steep drop over a rocky ledge,
which causes the river water to flow suddenly downward.
Source Tributary
Waterfall
Middle Course
The river starts to get wider and deeper here. The ground is
smoother and the river flows faster and more smoothly.
Confluence
This is the point where two rivers join to make one.
Meander
Oxbow Lake
This is a U-shaped bend in the river.
This is a U-shaped lake that is cut off from
the river – it used to be a meander.
Lower Course
Now the river is nearing the end of its journey.
We’re almost there!
This is where freshwater from the river mixes with
saltwater from the sea.
This is wetland made up of sediment transported
to the end of the river, and divided by channels.
Estuary
Delta Mouth
This is where the river enters the ocean.
This is a flat area of land next to the river
that is flooded when river level rises.
