explain the erosion Work of river
Answers
If not stabilized, river banks are subject to erosion due to river flow. In most cases, upstream locations are composed on rocky and compacted zones. But there are exceptions of course. These zones provide particles (mainly rocks, boulders) due to water movement. While these particles are moved in the river canal only in high flow (flood) events, they are minimized in size.
River bed material is another material that is subject to river erosion especially under high flow events. The transported material is stored wherever conditions allow. The most important parameters in river bed material erosion is river slope, flow rate, cohesion-adhesion of particles, water temperature, etc.
River bank erosion may occur if people do not care river management properly.

River Processes - Erosion. Rivers erode in four ways: Abrasion or corrasion - This is when large pieces of bedload material wear away the river banks and bed. Attrition - This is when the bed load itself is eroded when sediment particles knock against the bed or each other and break, becoming more rounded and smaller.
