The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The steepest gradients occur over the first 40 kilometres, where hydroelectric dams have been built.
- Further downstream, the Ruzizi Plain, the floor of the Western Rift Valley, has gentle hills, and the river flows into Lake Tanganyika through a delta, with one or two small channels splitting off from the main channel.
- The Ruzizi is a young river, formed about 10,000 years ago when volcanism associated with continental rifting created the Virunga Mountains.
