- Transportation and deposition
- Transportation
- Movement of eroded material.
- Traction- boulders pushed along the river bed by the water.
- Suspension- small particles carried by the water.
- Saltation- Particles bounced along the river bed by the water.
- Solution- soluble materials dissolve in the water.
- Deposition
- Coastal
- Constructive waves deposit more than they erode.
- Low frequency, powerful swash.
- Backwash is weaker, lots of deposition.
- Deposition increases as erosion increases.
- River
- Volume of water falls so sediment goes to the bed.
- More eroded material.
- Shallower water or river has reached the sea or lake- less energy so sediment is dropped.
- Coastal
- Transportation
