Knowledge of where at the river the right and left bank, it is necessary not only to pass examination in geography. In our society, symbols which help us to be guided with space are accepted, to report location and a location of objects. Besides, it is important to all who are somehow connected with the rivers on work or on the residence to be able to define where at the river the right bank. This knowledge is useful to the builders swimming on vessels, residents of settlements at the river, to travelers and other interested persons.
Instruction
1. Define the direction of a watercourse. If you are ashore, observe the accidental objects floating on a water surface. It can be chips, boards, snags. If the reference point is not revealed, float the paper ship, a float or a chip. In the direction of the movement of a subject you will see where the river flows. If you float down the river or are in water, look at the objects seen ashore there are bushes, stones, houses. You will move to the right or to the left from them, and again determine by this direction where the river flows. If you look at the card, find at the river a source (began it) and the mouth (place where waters flow into the lake or the sea). The watercourse is always directed from a source to the mouth.
2. Get up the person in the direction of a watercourse or arrange as appropriate the card. Around the world it is accepted that protected to the right of you – the right bank. Respectively, to the left of you there will be a left bank of the river.
3. It is also possible to determine coast by natural signs. The right bank of the river always higher and abrupt, inclined to collapses, and left – flat and low, inclined to flooding at floods and floods. This rule which received the name "Baer's Law" is valid for the rivers of the northern hemisphere flowing from the North on the South. The rivers wash away the right bank, leaving sand and deposits on left. Explaining this phenomenon with rotation of our planet from the West on the East. It is possible to see that for the Yuzhnogo Rivers to a hemisphere the same law in the return – the abrupt left bank and flat right is valid.
4. You can define the right bank of the navigable Po River to navigation signs, according to "Rules of swimming on the inland waterways of the Russian Federation". Signs of a stop on the right river bank red-black or red-white, and on left – black-and-white. At night navigable fires of the left bank shine green, white or probleskovo with white light, and fires of right - always red.
