   How does a river break down?

   • Attrition: Rocks and stones that the river carries knock against each other, breaking into smaller, rounder, and smoother fragments. It’s like a natural rock tumbler, where rough edges get smoothed over time. Solution (or Corrosion): This is a chemical process where certain rock types, like limestone or chalk, dissolve in the river’s water.

   What happens when a river reaches a large body of water?

   • Inevitably, a river will reach a large body of water, such as a sea, ocean or lake, that point of entry is called the mouth of the river. Similar to erosion, weathering can also cause the breaking down of materials in the atmosphere. There are three main types of weathering: chemical, physical and biological.

   What are the three main processes in the water cycle?

   • The water cycle consists of three major processes: evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. Evaporation Evaporation is the process of a liquid's surface changing to a gas. In the water cycle, liquid water (in the ocean, lakes, or rivers) evaporates and becomes water vapor. Water vapor surrounds us, as an important part of the air we breathe.

   How do rivers form a landform?

   • Rivers form part of the water cycle. They are a downward flow of water, under the force of gravity. Rivers shape the land through erosion, transportation and deposition. These processes create distinctive landforms. In the upper course, vertical erosion creates waterfalls and v-shaped valleys.

   Aug 22, 2023 · Mouths and Deltas: As rivers meet larger bodies of water like seas or lakes, their speed decreases, forming deltas from deposition. Confluences: When two rivers meet, the combined water can slow down if the joining river has a lower velocity, leading to deposition.
