Rocks and materials along the river bed and river banks are loosened and eventually dislodged. | Grinding action of the materials carried by the river results in the erosion of the river bed and banks. | Previously eroded materials carried by the river collide against each other and are worn down into smaller pieces. | Minerals in rock are dissolved and carried away in the solution. |
