Senior 3 Geography: River Systems in Africa

These notes introduce major African rivers, including the Nile, Niger, Benue and Orange, and outline the youthful, middle and lower stages of a river. They describe landforms associated with erosion and deposition, including waterfalls, rapids, valleys, gorges, meanders, deltas, braided channels, levees, oxbow lakes and flood plains. Brief explanations cover delta and flood plain formation. The material also identifies river-related problems such as pollution, flooding, floating vegetation and animal attacks.
