Transportation

Suspension - light material is carried along by the river 

Saltation - small pebbles are bounced along the river bed 

Traction - large boulders are rolled along the river bed 

Solution - minerals are dissolved in the water

Destructive waves - where the backwash is greater than the swash and the material is eroded faster than it can accumulate 

Constructive waves - where the swash is greater than the backwash and material is pushed up and accumulates on the beaches rather than removed
