This is the wearing away of the bed and banks of the river by the materials being carried by the river.

• Attrition

• Abrasion

• Hydraulic Action

• Solution

This is when rocks being carried by the river break down by hitting against each other

• Attrition

• Abrasion

• Hydraulic Action

• Soliution

This is the wearing away of the river bed and banks by the force of the water hitting against them

• Attrition

• Hydraulic Action

• Solution

• Abrasion

This involves the wearing away of the river bed and banks due the minerals in the rocks dissolving in the water
