Erosion
The process of the river bank and bed being worn away due to the river's energy level and the movement of stones and rocks.
Hydraulic Action
The force of the river hitting against the banks, dislodging sediments and creating a U-shaped river.
Solution
The process where the river dissolves soluble materials into its flow.
Abrasion
The collision of sediments with each other, leading to a reduction in size.
Attrition
Small particles like sand, silt, or gravel causing undercutting as they scour the river bed and banks.
Transportation
The movement of materials by the river, including suspension, solution, traction, and saltation.
Suspension
Fine material like clay and sediment carried by the river in its flow.
Traction
Large boulders and pebbles rolled along the river bed by the force of the water.
Saltation
Small stones, pebbles, and silt bouncing along the river bed during transportation.
Deposition
The process where rivers deposit the load particles they carry when they reach their base level, forming features like deltas and flood plains.
Suspension
Fine material such as clay and sediment is carried by the river
