The drainage basin
• All rivers receive a water supply and the area of land this comes from is known as a drainage basin.
• The boundaries of the basin are known as the watershed and will usually be marked by areas of high land.

River drainage basins
• Rivers begin in upland areas and flow downhill, becoming deeper and wider until they reach the sea.
• A drainage basin is part of the water cycle where water is transferred in a continuous cycle between the sea, atmosphere and the land.
• As the river flows downstream its characteristics change through the three main sections of
The Upper CourseThe Middle CourseThe Lower Course

Drainage basin diagram:
• River basins are an open system with inputs and outputs of water
Any rain falling here will flow within this basin

Erosion reminder: River erosion is similar to coastal
erosion
• Jot down the ways that rivers erode the land

Hydrological cycle reminder
• Watch the Evian advert
• Jot down the names of processes that happen during the clip, e.g. condensation

Hydro song/poem
• Using the textbook and all the keywords, write a song or poem to describe the hydro cycle
• Use pages 66 and 67 to help with terms

Glue the remaining blank triangle.
![Page 21: Rivers Drainage Basin](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555bb794d8b42a0d0f8b4d3d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Stick the glued triangle under the shaded triangle, so it fits neatly.
![Page 22: Rivers Drainage Basin](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555bb794d8b42a0d0f8b4d3d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Open your book to a double page. Glue the triangle and the bottom sides of the
diagram. Stick this firmly across the cease of the book. The tip of the triangle should
correspond to the cease.
