?
View mindmap
  • The River Tees
    • Lower Course
      • Least steep
      • Low ground
      • Stockton - completely artificial course - 2 meanders were chopped off
      • Can only carry and deposit small sediment
        • Suspended fine material - makes water a browny colour
      • Industrial land use
    • Upper Course
      • Steeper
      • Higher above ground
      • V-Shaped valley with interlocking spurs
      • Carrying a lot of sediment (BIG rocks)
      • High energy
      • Highest amount of erosion
      • High Force - Major Waterfall
      • Reservoir (these are usually along the lower course)
    • Middle Course
      • Becomes more sinuous
      • Not as steep
      • On slightly lower ground
      • Artificial landscape due to agriculture
      • Big floodplain
      • Big meanders migrating across floodplain
      • Maximum erosion at outside bends (Oxbow lake formed)
      • Greater chance of flooding in urban areas - some erosion management
