1. True
2. False

Where to find it in your book?

The image on p. 82 shows you the different elements of the river. 

The light green area is the river basin. This means that all the rain that falls in this area, flows to the Mississippi river.

True or false? The border between the light green and the dark green is called the watershed.

1. True
2. False

Where to find it in your book?

The image on p. 82 shows you the different elements of the river. 

The border of the river basin is called the watershed. All the rain that falls on the other side of the border, flows to another river.

True or false?

Rain that falls at letter D, flows into the Amazon river.

1. True
2. False

Where to find it in your book?

The image on p. 82 shows you the different elements of the river. 

Letter D is not inside the red line, so it is not inside the river basin. Rain that falls at letter D flows to another river.

The area inside the red line is called the .... of the Amazon river.

1. more
2. less

Where to find it in your book?

The image on p. 82 shows you the different elements of the river. 

Close to the sea, all the tributaries joined the Amazon river. More and more water came together, so there is more water in the river.

At letter C the river flows ... than at letter A.

2. faster

Where to find it in your book?

On p. 84 you see an image that shows the upper course, lower course and middle course of the river.

At letter A, the river is in the mountain. Here the land is steep (steil). The river flows fast. Close to the sea, the land is more flat. The water flows slower.

Letter C is in the ... of the river

1. upper course
2. middle course
3. lower course

Where to find it in your book?

Look at the river's long profile on page 84. Letter C is close to the sea, so that's the lower course of the river.
