- Erosion, transportation, deposition
- Erosion is the wearing away and removal of material
- hydraulic action
- abrasion
- attrition
- Deposition when a river drops the eroded material it is carrying
- It happens when a river loses velocity - why?
- the volume of water in the river falls
- the amount of material in the river increases
- the river is shallower e.g. on a bend
- the river reaches its mouth
- It happens when a river loses velocity - why?
- Erosion is the wearing away and removal of material
- traction
- Transportation is the movement of eroded material
- Saltation
- suspension
- solution
