Solution
The minerals are dissolved and carried in solution.
Suspension
The very light materials are carried near surface and giving it colour.
Saltation
The small pebbles and stones are bounced along in riverbed.
Traction
The heavy boulders and rocks rolled around the riverbed.
Deposition
The river drops material when energy decreases.
This occurs when the gradient becomes gentle.
The first material is to be deposited the heaviest and lighter material.
Erosion
Hydralic Action
The force and impact of flowing water can remove mater from the bed and banks of the river.
Abrasion
The effect of the load grinding away at the bed and banks like sand paper/
Attrition
The bigger rocks hits other rocks which makes the rocks smaller and less effective.
Erosion of river valleys.
River erodes valleys either from the banks or the surface at the bottom.
