Question

Does the river thames have a meander, an esturey, a flood plain, and a tributary?

Answer 1

The main tributary of the Thames is the river Cherwell,which flows in Oxfordshire amongst other counties.In Oxford itself,the river Thames is called the "Isis" and has been for a long time.

The Thames meanders in a number of places,a sign of a mature river "slowing up".

There is indeed a large estuary,which is inhabited by many thousands of birds etc.,it can flood hence the Thames barrier etc.,

As it approaches Reading onwards,it is much wider and a stronger current.The tide makes a big difference to man-powered boats,the University Boat Race has to be timed properly as they are strong.

Answer 2

The River Thames starts in a place called Lechlade on the border between Gloucestershire and Wiltshire, where it is little more than a stream. From there it meanders through Wiltshire, Berkshire,Surrey Greater London (formerly Middlesex) on through London itself, then through Essex/Kent which forms the Thames Estuary to flow into the North Sea.
