River processes

The wearing away of the river bed and banks

• Erosion

• Transportation

• Deposition

The movement of material

• Erosion

• Transportation

• Deposition

When a river looses energy and it drops the load it's carrying

• Erosion

• Transportation

• Deposition

The sheer force of the water hitting the river bed and banks

• Hydraulic Action

• Attrition

• Abrasion

• Solution

Water dissolves minerals from the rocks and washes them away.

• Hydraulic Action

• Abrasion

• Attrition

• Solution

The wearing away of the river bed and banks by the load hitting and rubbing against them.

• Hydraulic Action

• Abrasion

• Attrition

• Solution

Wearing down of the load as rocks and pebbles hit a against each other.

• Hydraulic Action

• Abrasion

• Attrition

• Solution

1.When the load of the river is dissolved in the water.

• Traction

• Saltation

• Suspension

• Solution

When the load is transported by floating in the water.

• Traction
