True: the first part of a river journey is called the upper course, A waterfall occurs when the water erodes away softing rock leaving the hard rock on top creating a cliff for the water to flow over, the soil in the upper course is poor so farmers use it to graze their sheep or cattle, water flows quickly in the upper course so it can be used to make hydro-energy, the start of a river is called the SOURCE, a river is made up of lots of little streams or TRIBUTARIES, False: the upper course is where the river meets the sea, the water in the upper course flows slowly, no erosion occurs in the upper course of the river, there is no tourism as there is nothing interesting to see, there is only one way for a river to be formed, the fast flowing water created U-shaped valleys,
