What is a wide rapid?

Wide rapids span the full width of a broad river rather than a narrow chute, with the drop spread across many small ledges and rocks. They are typical of big lowland rivers crossing a resistant rock layer. The survey marks very few rapids this way; the general rapids category holds most of the others.
