Erosion processes
The process where boulders are transported which impact against the river's bed and sides is called: .
The process where chemicals in the water dissolve away the rivers bed and sides is called: .
The process where river load collides, wearing away the surface to become smaller, smoother and more rounded: .
The process where streamflow dislodges material from the river's bed and sides is called: action.
Load
Rivers store and transport material which they have eroded. We call this material the load. There are three types of load.
The load is the material that lies on the bottom of the river. It might be transported during periods of high flow.
The load is the material carried in the body of the water. It's the reason why rivers sometimes look muddy after rainfall.
The load are the chemicals dissolved in the water and transported with the flow.
Transport
Rivers transport material which they have eroded. There are four methods, which are dependent on the size of the material, and the flow rate of the river.
The largest material is the moved by - the material is rolled along the river's bed.
is the process where material bounces along the bed - temporarily suspended, but the energy is too low to keep it in suspension.
The load is the material carried in the main body of the water.
The transport of dissolved load is called .
