- Transportation Processes
- Traction
- Rolling stones along the river bed (this needs the most energy to complete)
- Saltation
- Sand-sized particles bounce along the river bed in a 'leap frog' movement.
- Suspension
- Silt and clay-sized particles are carried within the water flow.
- Solution
- Some minerals dissolve in the water, this process needs the least energy.
- Deposition
- Is when the river drops eroded material. It happens when the river looses speed (velocity).
- Traction
