River Processes: Erosion and Transportation
Tracing the journey of a river from source to mouth and the erosional and transportational processes that shape its valley.
Key Questions
- Explain the different types of river erosion, such as abrasion and hydraulic action.
- Analyze how a river's energy changes from its upper course to its lower course.
- Differentiate between the processes of transportation (e.g., suspension, saltation) in a river.
