1 00:00:00,370 --> 00:00:16,370 The upper course is the beginning of a river. It starts at the source of the river and continues until the river meets the flat land. The water flows quickly in the upper course and the river is smooth. 2 00:00:16,370 --> 00:00:29,370 In the middle course the rivers get bigger and wider. It also begins to slow down the land over which it flows in flat land. 3 00:00:29,370 --> 00:00:33,369 The lower coast is the last stage of a river. 4 00:00:33,369 --> 00:00:39,369 The river becomes even wider and the water flows more slowly. 5 00:00:39,369 --> 00:00:46,369 During this stage, the river empties into a lake or the sea. 6 00:00:46,369 --> 00:00:49,369 This meeting point is called the mouth of the river. 7 00:00:49,369 --> 00:00:52,369 A riverbed is the land over which a river flows. 8 00:00:52,369 --> 00:00:59,329 A river basin is a group of river basins that empathy into some sea. 9 00:00:59,990 --> 00:01:06,390 On the Iberian Peninsula, there are three main drainage basins. 10 00:01:06,849 --> 00:01:12,489 The contrarian is a river that empties into a bigger river. 11 00:01:12,489 --> 00:01:16,189 The point where two rivers meet is kind of a conflict. 12 00:01:16,189 --> 00:01:22,290 A river basin is an area of land that is drained by a river and its tributaries. 13 00:01:22,370 --> 00:01:34,129 This means that all the precipitation that falls on this area of land goes into one river and its tributary.
