Writing coursework, especially on a complex topic like Geography River Coursework, can be a

challenging and time-consuming task. It requires extensive research, data collection, analysis, and the
ability to present findings coherently. Here are some reasons why writing coursework on this subject
can be difficult:

1. Research Intensity: Geography River Coursework often involves fieldwork, data collection,
and analysis. This requires a thorough understanding of geographical concepts and the ability
to apply them practically.
2. Data Analysis: Analyzing data collected from fieldwork or research can be complex,
especially when dealing with geographical variables. Interpreting this data and drawing
meaningful conclusions can be a demanding task.
3. Technical Skills: Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and other technical tools may be
required for mapping and data analysis. Proficiency in these tools is essential for a
comprehensive and accurate coursework.
4. Time-Consuming: Gathering data, conducting fieldwork, and analyzing results can be time-
consuming. Many students may find it challenging to balance these activities with other
academic and personal responsibilities.
5. Writing Skills: Presenting the findings in a clear and coherent manner is crucial. This
requires strong writing skills to convey complex geographical concepts effectively.

Given these challenges, seeking assistance can be a viable option for students. While recommending
external help, it's important to stress the importance of ethical writing practices and the responsibility
to understand and learn from the coursework. One option could be to suggest ⇒ HelpWriting.net
⇔ as a resource where students can find professional assistance in crafting their coursework.
It's essential to highlight that seeking help doesn't mean avoiding the learning process. Instead, it can
serve as a supplementary aid to help students understand the complexities of the topic and improve
their own writing skills.
The pollution should rise as we get to the mouth because there is mud and lots of solutions
contaminating the water. One explanation of why the width decreased at some sites but then
unexpectedly. Aim: An investigation into the changing physical characteristics form source to mouth.
Water energy is greater downstream, but unable to transport the heavier loads in suspension, resulting
in greater deposition downstream. My r2 value is -0.654 which is relatively close to -1, and therefore
suggests to us that. The depth at site 6 generally decreased from 0.099m at site 5 to 0.0812m which
came. At site 2 the cross sectional area was 0.28035 m2 which was higher than at the. This water

streams. At the source river flow speed is fast because the gravity pulling down on the water is so
great that the water can gather speed on its journey downwards. The third reading we took was the
wetted perimeter. I chose to investigate this river study over our four day field trip to Somerset in
order. This is a summary table showing if my hypotheses were accepted visually, by looking.

gravity and mass movements roll material down the valley sides to give the valley a 'v' shape. This
means the energy levels have completely dropped making the river process mainly depositional.
Problems and Limitations encountered in Data Collection. Water energy is greater downstream, but
unable to transport the heavier loads in suspension, resulting in greater deposition downstream. It
was important that we all counted pedestrians at the same time. The middle course is less steep when
compared to the upper course. To give back the water used by the plants for transpiration, the surface
run-off water infiltrates the soil. This meant that the width of the river was expected to. This resource

If there was a lot of rain or no rain at all, then this factor would. This is entirely a human area, but
would still have affected my results the same as the other reasons outlined above. Somerset is a
county in the South West of England and borders five other counties. This would be because
processes such as attrition would not have enough time to erode pebbles. I went during the summer,
where the river would be smaller than normal, as processes such as evaporation would have affected
the volume of water in the river. It is hard to compare results that different people have decided on,
so it is impossible to ever reach one conclusion. Flow Rate (s) 1 100 54.44 100 12.52 7.6 7.33 100

Of. The street furniture was clear because there would be less people to use them whilst in the frame.
The high street (the core) has more major shops and retail companies This is because the high street
has a higher influx of people wanting to buy more who are there top shop specifically.Whereas
Queen Street (the frame)there are more catering services and personal shops. Now a statistical test
called Spearman’s Rank correlation must be undertaken to see. There seems to be large clusters of
similar shops together this is perhaps because of the competition within the high street,which is very
common in the core part of a city. To summarise how a river changes throughout the three stages the
water cycle is one of the best ways to see it.

now and so the valley becomes wider, and the walls of the valley slope more gradually. Limestone’s
permeability meant that water in the channel was going to percolate. Because of this, the river has to
flow around the spurs, eroding vertically. There were some limitations when we were measuring our

pedestrians that walked past a certain place for 2 minutes and then compared results and estimated
them to get a rounded figure. Therefore, the conclusions I have drawn from my studies are not valid
on all rivers, it is not possible to automatically assume that the results for the tests will be the same on
a much larger river, such as the Nile or the Amazon. I could have actually measured the wetted
perimeter for example. If we wanted to we could have gone inside the shop and asked the owner.
Yet we might expect more vandalism outside of the core, in the frame, this could be because there
are less security camera and people to watch the vandals. We would also have to do the survey in

there was a lot of rain or no rain at all, then this factor would. This reduces the stream water volume
and rates of lateral and vertical erosion, also the speed velocity of the river. Debden Brook Rivers
Coursework Data Collection Table. This is the Spearman’s Rank formula written in mathematical
notation. Any tributaries flowing into the River Bourne would have a profound affect on our results,
as the river does not carry much. When water from a fast moving stream enters cracks in a rock, the
force breaks up the force into pieces. Valley rocks roll over (traction) breaking down by attrition,
when too heavy to be held at once. At Site 4 the average depth was 0.093m which was larger then at
the previous site. However some of our methods were weak in places and could have done with
more time and attention to achieve perfect results.
There was a lack of rain before we went on this field trip which meant that the river in. A drainage
divide divides or separated different basins. At the mouth you get lots of erosion because the water
is fast moving and the land is steep. The last reading that we had to take at each site was the
Gradient. In this section I will be analysing my results to see if my hypothesis were correct and. I
ensured that the metre rule was perpendicular to the riverbed, and that it was pushed in sideways, so
as not to create a large amount of resistance from the water. You had to look through the surveyor’s
level at an E-. However this would have taken all day too do and would have been very tedious and
boring.We also should have increased the time we counted as 2 minutes is not long enough and
wouldn’t have given us a reliable result. Spearman’s Rank is a statistical technique which is used to
see if there is a correlation. At site 4 the cross sectional area was 0.33852 m2 which was an increase

big stores were mainly in the core and smaller ones in the frame. A river starts when water flows
because of the pull of gravity this means that river almost always start in high areas such as
mountains or hills. By continuing, you agree to our Terms and Conditions. Ox bow lakes are a
truncated (cut off) section of a meander in the river channel which forms a 'c' shape. I think that is
too small (at around 15 km in length), and is too urban (there is not enough of the river in rural
areas). Due to the fast speed of the water many land forms are created. So the anomaly that I got
from my results may have been due to deposition on the river bend or the banks of the river may
have started to draw into each other. Different people were used on the stop watch; everyone has
different reactions and would have stopped the watch according to their judgement about when the

Hypothesis 2- The depth of the river will increase as you go from source to mouth. I could have
actually measured the wetted perimeter for example. There had been little rain in Somerset before we
went on our river study. This meant. There are three types of sampling methods which could have

Bristol Channel), we expected the river to. This contrasts to the frame which is the opposite. Cold,
dry winters decrease the water volume of streams, further declining erosion rates. If I were to repeat
this river study again there would be some changes that I would. However we were doing this in a
group so some people may find litter more disgusting than others and give different marks according
to their opinions. The width of the river starts to increase as we go from site1to site 4 by 2.95m. At

day to day and we have only got a few surveys in a small section of Exeter. In My conclusions I
accepted my hypothesis for velocity; I did this because the majority of the sites I measured showed
an increase in velocity downstream. There is usually many busy transport systems containing busses
and trains, buildings tend to be tall and high density. The C.B.D is densely populated. It is hard to
read a very small change in volume displaced. In this section I shall be presenting my data as graphs
and describing the basic trends. Below is how we found r2 using the Spearman’s rank equation. One
of these changes is that I would have taken ten depth readings at each site rather. All raw data that
was collectedis in the appendix on page 59. Being an urban river is a problem, because the bedload
could be affected by rubbish dumped into the river (I saw a lot of rubbish in the river, such as
computers, cables, paperwork and even needles) and also affect results on river depth and silt depth.
The results show this, shallower banks rather than deeper river beds in the middle. Spearman’s Rank
correlation must be undertaken to see the strength of this. The M5 motorway assists Exeter with
most of it communications and trade. In this section I will be seeing if my hypotheses were correct

1, 4.413s for site 2 and 2.34s for site 3. This was expected because lateral and vertical erosion
increase the river width and depth and channel area, allowing water from connected tributaries to
flow, which gives the river more energy flowing downstream. Limestone is well jointed which means
that the rock has vertical and horizontal. Problems and Limitations encountered in Data Collection.
This was also correct and similar to a text book river. Debden Brook Rivers Coursework Data
