Rocks and boulders carried by the water scour the land (in the same way as wire wool scratches metal) and the debris is carried to the river mouth.

Why do rivers wear away the land?

See, the previous answer was wrong. The rivers wear away the land because of a agent in the river that is water. Water gradually, mostly quickly, goes through the soil, making it too soft. Then another strong stream of water erodes the soft soil (sediment) and wear away with it. This soil is taken forward and forward till it reaches it's destination.

What two processes are responsible for the formation of a valley?

Weathering and water erosion wear away at the slopes which would then collapse downwards into the river and the process would continue, expanding until it becomes a river valley. Try googling 'formation of a river valley' and look at a diagram.


What causes stream and valley erosion?

Stream erosion is mainly caused by the force of flowing water, which carries sediment and particles and can wear away the land it passes through. Valley erosion is a result of various factors, including the flow of water in streams and rivers, weathering of rocks, freeze-thaw cycles, and the movement of glaciers. Over time, these processes can shape and reshape the landscape of a valley.


How is a valley created by water?

A valley is created by water primarily through the process of erosion. As rivers or streams flow over land, they wear away soil and rock, gradually carving out a channel. Over time, this continuous erosion deepens and widens the channel, leading to the formation of a valley. Additionally, glacial activity can also create U-shaped valleys as glaciers carve through rock and sediment during their movement.

Do rivers become deeper by banks eroding or the bottom eroding.?

Rivers can become deeper through both bank erosion and bottom erosion, but bottom erosion is typically the primary factor. As water flows, it can wear away the riverbed, deepening the channel over time. Bank erosion also contributes to changes in depth and width but primarily affects the sides of the river rather than the bottom. Together, these processes shape the river's overall profile and flow characteristics.
