What landforms can be created along the course of a river?
UPPER COURSE - v-shaped valleys
V-shaped valleys are found in the upper course of a river where vertical erosion is dominant. The river erodes downwards, leaving the sides exposed. These are then weathered (attacked by the wind and rain) to leave a steep sided valley.
Interlocking spurs are usually created, this is where areas of the valley stick out forming the river to flow around them. |
