Rivers Revision

Rocks in the river being thrown against the river bed and banks, knocking more pieces off.

The water is moving faster, so erosion occurs, creating a river cliff.

Everytime a river floods, sediment is dropped, the larger material first and the smaller is dropped furthest away. Over time the larger material builds up.
