Classify statements and images based on whether they describe rivers with a high energy flow, low energy flow or both.
Rivers are formed and molded over time by the processes of erosion, transportation, and deposition of sediment. Rivers “work" the landscape through these natural processes. Moreover, the stage of development of a river is directly linked to the dominating process at that time. Young rivers, for example, are characterized by a V type of valley with lots of falls or dips and rapid courses of water. Due to the steep topography and the high potential energy of the water, erosion is the main process of these rivers. A lot of rock and soil is constantly being removed from the soil in young rivers.

To classify the statements and images based on whether they describe rivers with high energy flow, low energy flow, or both, we can use the information provided.
**High Energy Flow:**
- Young rivers are characterized by a V-type valley with lots of falls or dips and rapid courses of water.
- Due to the steep topography and the high potential energy of the water, erosion is the main process of these rivers.
- A lot of rock and soil is constantly being removed from the soil in young rivers.
**Low Energy Flow:**
- Rivers that are more developed or mature often have a wider, flatter valley with slower-moving water, where deposition is more common than erosion.
- These rivers often carry finer sediments, as the energy flow is insufficient to transport larger particles.
**Both High and Low Energy Flow:**
- There may be sections of a river that experience both high and low energy flow depending on changes in gradient, flow speed, and sediment load.
**Classifications:**
1. **High Energy Flow:**
- Young rivers characterized by steep valleys.
- High erosion rates.
- Transport of larger sediments (rocks and soil).
2. **Low Energy Flow:**
- Mature rivers with wider valleys.
- Dominance of deposition processes.
- Transport of finer sediments.
3. **Both:**
- Fluctuating sections along a river where energy changes (from steep areas to flatter areas).
Based on this understanding, you can then uniquely categorize the specific images/statements into one of these classifications depending on the characteristics they show or describe.
