- Transport
- Solution - Minerals dissolved in the water
- Suspension - Sediment that floats within the river flow
- Saltation - Bouncing smaller particles along the bed
- Traction - Rolling large stones along the river bed
- Erosion
- Abrasion - The material carried by the river wears away the bed and banks.
- Attrition - The particles carried by the river are bashed against one another, making them smaller and rounder
- Corrosion/ Solution - particles are dissovled
- Hydraulic action - The power of the water forces air into gaps in the banks and weakens them so they collapse
- Depostion
- When the velocity of a river falls, it has less ability/energy to carry its load. The river then starts to drop the material, starting with the largest particle.
- reasons
- The rivers enter the sea or lake
- There is less water entering the river
- There is more sediment in the river
