How does water erosion change earths surface?
In short: in many ways:Rivers carve the landscape by forming channels for themselves.Rainfall causes the dissolution of limestone and some mineral cements. In caves these sediments are deposited as stalactites and stalagmites.Frozen water (ice) carves the landscape as a glacier, forming distinct U-shaped valleys.Sea/ocean tides and waves cause coastal erosionWater also causes weathering in various forms. All these factors cause major changes in the surface of the earth.
Why does erosion occur on the outside of a river?
erosion occurs on the outside of rivvers because of the forces of moving water push out or (erode) the landscape, to allow water the flow easier and create more room. the grouynd under the river will not erode because of the gravity and presure of the the water on the ground
