What are the four processes?
Hydraulic power, abrasion, attrition, corrosion
What is hydraulic power?
The power of the water on the river bed and banks. Overtime is weared away
What is abrasion
The pebbles, sand…. that the river carries, bounce up and down on the river bank and bed, wearing them away
What is attrition?
The erosion of the load carried from the river.This load rules against other load, the load becomes smother and smaller
What is corrosion?
The river water is sometimes slightly acidic. This can erode rocks such as chalk or limestone
