- The Long Profile of a River
- Upper Course
- Vertical erosion - Corrasion and hydraulic action
- Transported by traction, saltation, suspention and solution
- Large irregular shaped load
- Middle Course
- Lateral erosion - Corrasion and hydraulic action
- Transported by traction, saltation, suspension and solution
- Smaller more rounded load
- Examples: River Tees and Wycoller Beck
