River Erosion Processes

Fast flowing water hit the river bank and river bed. This cause river bed to become deeper and river bank become wider

• Abrasion

• Hydraulic Action

• Attrition

• Solution

Rocks / stones and sand carried by river drag against river bed and river banks. This cause river bed to become deeper and river banks to become wider

• Hydraulic action

• Attrition

• Abrasion

• Solution

Rocks / stones and other materials knock and collide against each other when they move causing them to be broken down into smaller pieces

• Attrition

• Hydraulic action

• Abrasion

• Solution

Limestone will dissolve and become soluble in water. This is known as

• Abrasion

• Hydraulic Action

• Attrition

• Solution

Attrition is also known as

• Corrasion

• Corrosion

• Solution

• Hydraulic Action

Corrosion is also known as

• Attrition
