3. Features Gentle slopes Farms (crops) Truncated spurs V Shaped valley Meanders Ox Bow Lake
4. Gentle Slopes and Farms Slopes either side of the river are gentle This makes it easier to grow crops than in the upper course where the slopes are steep As a result there are many crop growing farms in the middle course
8. Ox Bow lakes This is formed from a meandering river that due to erosion it cuts in to the meanders before making a straight river and the sediment is deposited therefore cutting of the original meander. This then creates an ox bow lake.
