Große Aue
The Große Aue (in its upper reaches known as the ''Aue'' and then also the ''Neuer Mühlenbach'' or ''Mühlbach'') is an , southwestern, left tributary of the River Weser in northern North Rhine-Westphalia and central Lower Saxony in Germany. Course The Große Aue rises at a height of as the ''Aue'' on the southern side of the Wiehen Hills in the village of Dono in the parish of Rödinghausen in North Rhine-Westphalia. After one and a half kilometres it turns north and from its confluence with the Nordbach, which joins it from the west at Schwenningdorf, is known as the ''Große Aue''. It crosses a water gap in the Wiehen Hills, losing 40 metres of height and powering two mills, so that in the section through the Wiehen crest it has been named the ''Neuer Mühlbach'' ("New Mill Stream") after the ''Neue Mühle'' ("New Mill") at Schwenningdorf. Further downstream near Fiegenburg it collects a tributary from the west which drains the entire (''Eggetal''), and is then known ...

Egge (Wiehengebirge)
The Egge, also called the Preußisch Oldendorfer Berg is a roughly seven-kilometre-long secondary ridge of the Wiehen Hills and gives its name to the Eggetal valley in the districts of Osnabrück and Minden-Lübbecke in North Germany. The state border between North Rhine-Westphalia and Lower Saxony divides the ridge at a pass called the ''Durchbruch'' ("breakthrough") over which the road from Preußisch Oldendorf runs into the Eggetal and to Bruchmühlen, about two-thirds of the Egge belonging to Westphalia. In addition to describing the entire ridge, in many maps the ''Egge'' is also shown as referring to a summit with a height of north of Eininghausen and east of the Geisberg ; this usage is rare however. The section of the main crest of the Wiehen Hills between ''Neue Mühle'' and ''Horst Höhe'' is referred in maps as ''Die Egge'' ("The Egge"). The ridge runs parallel to the main crest of the Wiehen at a distance of around two to three kilometres from it and between the ...

Water Gap
A water gap is a gap that flowing water has carved through a mountain range or mountain ridge and that still carries water today. Such gaps that no longer carry water currents are called wind gaps. Water gaps and wind gaps often offer a practical route for road and rail transport to cross the mountain barrier. Geology A water gap is usually an indication of a river that is older than the current topography. The likely occurrence is that a river established its course when the landform was at a low elevation, or by a rift in a portion of the crust of the earth having a very low stream gradient and a thick layer of unconsolidated sediment. In a hypothetical example, a river would have established its channel without regard for the deeper layers of rock. A later period of uplift would cause increased erosion along the riverbed, exposing the underlying rock layers. As the uplift continued, the river, being large enough, would continue to erode the rising land, cutting ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

River Weser
The Weser () is a river of Lower Saxony in north-west Germany. It begins at Hannoversch Münden through the confluence of the Werra and Fulda. It passes through the Hanseatic city of Bremen. Its mouth is further north against the ports of Bremerhaven and Nordenham. The latter is on the Butjadingen Peninsula. It then merges into the North Sea via two highly saline, estuarine mouths. It connects to the canal network running east-west across the North German Plain. The river, when combined with the Werra (a dialectal form of "Weser"), is long and thus, the longest river entirely situated within Germany (the Main, however, is the longest if the Weser and Werra are not combined). The Weser itself is long. The Werra rises in Thuringia, the German state south of the main projection (tongue) of Lower Saxony. Etymology "Weser" and "Werra" are the same words in different dialects. The difference reflects the old linguistic border between Central and Low German, passing through ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tributary
A tributary, or affluent, is a stream or river that flows into a larger stream or main stem (or parent) river or a lake. A tributary does not flow directly into a sea or ocean. Tributaries and the main stem river drain the surrounding drainage basin of its surface water and groundwater, leading the water out into an ocean. The Irtysh is a chief tributary of the Ob river and is also the longest tributary river in the world with a length of . The Madeira River is the largest tributary river by volume in the world with an average discharge of . A confluence, where two or more bodies of water meet, usually refers to the joining of tributaries. The opposite to a tributary is a distributary, a river or stream that branches off from and flows away from the main stream. PhysicalGeography.net, Michael Pidwirny ...
