The work of rivers

Rocks, such as limestone, and soils are dissolved by acids in the water. This is known as...

• Hydraulic Action

• Abrasion

• Saltation

• Solution

Which process involves large boulders and rocks being rolled along the river bed?

• Saltation

• Bedload

• Suspension

• Solution

Tiny visible particles such as sand & silt are usually transported:

• in solution

• by saltation

• by traction

• in suspension

Small stones carried by the river wears away the banks and bed of the river. This is known as...

• Attrition

• Abrasion

• Solution

• Hydraulic Action

Deposition is a process that

• Dissolves sediment

• Breaks down rock to form sediment

• Removes sediment from land forms

• Drops sediment to form landforms

Small pebbles are bounced along the bed of the river. This is known as...

• Traction

• Saltation

• Suspension

• Solution
