To solve the problem, we need to identify and label the different parts of the river shown in the image using the provided terms:
UPPER COURSE,
MIDDLE COURSE,
LOWER COURSE,
SOURCE, and
MOUTH. Let's analyze the image step by step:
Key Features of a River:
1.
Source: The starting point of a river, often in highlands or mountains.
2.
Upper Course: The initial part of the river where it flows rapidly through steep terrain, often forming V-shaped valleys.
3.
Middle Course: The part of the river where it begins to flow more gently, forming wider valleys and meanders.
4.
Lower Course: The final part of the river where it slows down and deposits sediments, often forming floodplains and deltas.
5.
Mouth: The point where the river meets a larger body of water (e.g., an ocean, sea, or lake).
Analyzing the Image:
-
Top Left (near the mountains): This is the highest point where the river begins. It is likely the
SOURCE.
-
Next Section (steep, narrow valley): This is the
UPPER COURSE, where the river flows rapidly through steep terrain.
-
Middle Section (wider, curving river): This is the
MIDDLE COURSE, where the river has formed meanders and flows more gently.
-
Bottom Section (wide, flat area near the end): This is the
LOWER COURSE, where the river slows down and deposits sediments.
-
Very Bottom (where the river meets the larger body of water): This is the
MOUTH.
Labeling the Boxes:
1.
Top Left Box: SOURCE
2.
Second Box from Top: UPPER COURSE
3.
Third Box from Top: MIDDLE COURSE
4.
Fourth Box from Top: LOWER COURSE
5.
Bottom Box: MOUTH
Final Answer:
\[
\boxed{\text{SOURCE, UPPER COURSE, MIDDLE COURSE, LOWER COURSE, MOUTH}}
\]
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of parts of a river worksheet.
