Name 2 types of hard engineering flood defences used to prevent rivers flooding.

Levees

/ dams Sluice gates River channel straightening Flood walls Deepening the river channel Storage areas built to temporarily store excess water

Name the 4 main types of erosion happening in a river.

Attrition Abrasion/corrasion Solution/corrosion Hydraulic action.

Sketch a cross-section of a meander and add the following labels: Erosion, Deposition, River Cliff, Slip-off Slope, fastest flow, slowest flow.

Name 2 types of soft engineering methods used to protect rivers from flooding.
Washlands

built between embankments and the river. Land use zoning. Planting hedgerows and trees in the catchment. Afforestation Reinforcing the river banks with woven willow to stop bank erosion. Early warning systems so residents can use sand bags and move their possessions.

Match up the transport method with what happens in a river.

Traction Saltation Solution Suspension

Dissolved material carried by a river Larger rocks are rolled along the river bed Very fine material (e.g. Sand) floats along with the river.

Smaller rocks/pebbles are bounced along the river bed

Look at this picture make a list of factors that A) Cause flooding B) Prevent or reduce flooding
