Erosion and Transportation 0.0 / 5 ? GeographyWater and riversGCSEAQA Created by: abbie-hopeCreated on: 07-02-17 21:42 Hydraulic action? The force of the river water causes the banks to wear away. 1 of 8 Abrasion? The rocks that are transported by the river hit the banks and wear them away. 2 of 8 Attrition? The rocks transported by the river hit the banks. This makes them smoother, smaller and rounder. 3 of 8 Solution, (Erosion)? Small, soluble particles are dissolved into the water. 4 of 8 Traction? Large rocks and boulders are rolled along the river bed by the force of the current. 5 of 8 Saltation? Small rocks and pebbles are bounced along the river bed by the force of the current. 6 of 8 Suspension? Light, fine materials are carried along by the river. 7 of 8 Solution, (transportation)? Soluble materials are dissolved into the rover water and transported along. 8 of 8
