3 answers

Streams and rivers move material through erosion, which is the process of wearing away sediments and rocks through the force of flowing water. This erosion can also occur through mass wasting, where gravity causes rocks and sediments to move downslope. Additionally, infiltration, where water seeps into the ground and carries sediments with it, can also contribute to the movement of material by streams and rivers.
