What is a river?
A river is a natural watercourse, usually freshwater, flowing towards the sea.
Without the hydrological cycle, rivers cannot be formed.

HYDROLOGICAL CYCLE
• Precipitation – water from clouds come to the Earth’s surface as rain, snow and hail• Transpiration – plants release water vapour into atmosphere
![Page 10: River 1 hydro cycle and river system](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062703/554f9587b4c905435d8b52fa/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
HYDROLOGICAL CYCLE
•Surface Run-off – rain that falls on Earth’s surface flows over land
• Condensation – water vapour rises, cools and changes into tiny water droplets

HYDROLOGICAL CYCLE
• Infiltration – water that soaks into the soil subsurface
• Percolation – water moves further down into the underlying soil after infiltration
![Page 12: River 1 hydro cycle and river system](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062703/554f9587b4c905435d8b52fa/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
HYDROLOGICAL CYCLE
•Throughflow – infiltrated water that flows sideways in the soil subsurface
• Interception – water is absorbed by trees
![Page 13: River 1 hydro cycle and river system](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062703/554f9587b4c905435d8b52fa/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Water flows from highlands to lowlands due to the pull of gravity.
River System
River sourceRiver source: The place at which the river begins. Usually found in mountainous areas or highland.
TributaryTributary: Streams and rivers that join the main river
River course River mouthRiver mouth: The place at which a river ends into the sea

RIVER SYSTEM
• Source – the starting point of a river• Mouth – the ending point of a river• Drainage Basin – The area drained by a river and its tributaries
![Page 17: River 1 hydro cycle and river system](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062703/554f9587b4c905435d8b52fa/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
RIVER SYSTEM
•Confluence – the point at which a tributary joins the main river • Watershed – The boundary formed by the edges of the drainage basin
