Source

• The source of the river is the start of a
  river. It starts as a simple spring. Then forms a
  stream then gradually grows into a river. The
  rain makes the stream grow quicker into a river.

Meander

• A meander is where a river is curved and flows
  around a sharp bend in its flow path. An oxbow
  lake is formed when erosion chops away at the
  meander (Erosion is when the river grinds away
  some of the land around it witch is why oxbow
  lakes appear). There is a simple way to remember
  meander, me and her. I hope this little lesson
  hasnt drove you round the bend.

Tributaries

• Tributaries are little brooks joining the
  massive river. They are smaller because their
  sources are nearer than the larger river .When
  they join the larger river the bigger river
  grows. Sometimes the smaller river has an
  extremely fast current below the surface.

Confluence

• A confluence is when 2 large rivers connect.
  Sometimes a confluence smashes together and
  makes water goes off the river and give people a
  free bath.

Erosion

• Erosion is where the water rubs at the side and
  makes the side go flat also sometimes adds it to
  the load of the river. It adds to the load and
  makes it go to the bottom which is called silt
  .It takes mud away from the sides and drops it
  off and that is called deposition.

Mouth

• The mouth is where the river ,which is in the
  slowest part of its journey, meets the ocean and
  it passes through the river delta. But there
  isnt always a delta. Fish also come down the
  river and enter the sea and sometimes get stuck
  in the seaweed.

Valley

• A valley is where the river erodes through a
  mountain . A valley is formed when the river
  erodes between two hills . Sometimes water flows
  down the hills and enters the river. Also
  waterfalls are created at the end of the valley
  sometimes.
