rivers
deposition
deposition can occur on coastlines that have constructive waves
factors leading to deposition is
sheltered areas like bays
waves starting to slow down and lose energy
little or no wind
shallow water
when the sea loses energy it drops all the material it has been carrying
deposition is the process where material being transported is deposited
erosion
there are 4 differen type of erosion
hyrdraluic action
this is when the force of the water against the banks comrpessing air pockets into cracks
solution
solution erosion is just the process of acidic water dissolving soluble sediment
attrition
this is when the bed load is eroded by itself and the bed, the constant impacts break the rocks into smaller pieces and more rounded
abrasion
this is the process of sediments wearing down the bedrocks and the banks
erosion is the gradual destruction or diminution of something
transportation
there are four different types of transportation
suspension
fine light material is carried along in the water
saltation
small pebbles and stones are bounced along the river bed
solution
minerals are dissolved in the water and carried along in solution. this typically occurs in areas where the underlying bedrock is limestone
traction
large boulders and rocks are rolled along the river bed
transportation is transporting someone of something
