  1. The River Severn By Sophie and Beckham

  2. The Source • The source is the beginning of a river. • A river can also have more than one source. • The source is also where the river starts its journey to the sea. • The source is normally positioned up in the hills or up on a Mouton. • The river Severn’s source is in Wales where it rains and this river starts on a hill.

  3. Tributaries • A tributary is a stream or a river which flows into a parent river. • These are some of the River Severn’s tributaries: • Afon Clywedog joins the Severn at Llanidloes • River Camlad joins the Severn near Camlad • River Vyrnwy joins the Severn at Melverley, Shropshire

  4. Meanders • A meander is a broad, looping bend in a river which is usually in the middle or lower course of the river. • The meander continually changes shape as the fast flowing current of water erodes the outside bank of the meander .

  5. The Mouth • The mouth is where the river meets the sea, a lake or a larger waterway. • Most rivers flow into the sea and this is where they end there journey. • The river Severn’s mouth flows into the Bristol channel.

  6. The Severn Bore • The Severn Bore is a huge wave which sweeps upstream when tides are high. • The Severn Bore can reach heights of 10ft in midstream and up to 280ft wide in sandy estuary channels.
