The two erosional processes found in rivers are mainly attrition and vertical hydraulic action. Attrition is where the moving river water dislodges materials like rocks on the sides of the river and carries them with the flow. Vertical hydraulic action is where moving water removes materials from the riverbed and carry it with the flow. This causes less resistant rocks to be eroded and thus forming a plunge pool, or waterfall.

What two processes bring sediments to a new location?
erosion and deposition
What are the names of the two rivers found in Myanmar?
The Chindwin and the Irrawaddy rivers .
Shorelines change rapidly Erosion and deposition are two processes with opposite effects that shape shoreline features Which of the following shoreline processes is an example of deposition?
accumulation of mud in bays
What two geological processes are involved in changing igneous rock to sedimentary rock?
The geological processes, that are involved in changing igneous rock to sedimentary rock are; weathering, erosion, deposition and compaction.
What are 2 ways glaciers erode the land?
The two processes are abrasion and plucking.What processes lead to glacial erosion? Describe them.The two main processes that lead to glacial erosion are plucking and abrasion. Plucking is the process by which a glacier picks off rocks as it blocks over the land. The rock fragments freeze to the bottom of the glacier, gouging and scratching the bedrock as the glacier advances in the process of abrasion.
What two processes all soils to wash into the oceans?
Erosion is one. Deforestation contributes to runoff and erosion.
What are two way that geologic processes can destroy a fossil?
Erosion and metamorphosis.
What two processes bring sediments to a new location?
erosion and deposition
Describe two basic processes of glacial erosion?
The two processes are abrasion and plucking.What processes lead to glacial erosion? Describe them.The two main processes that lead to glacial erosion are plucking and abrasion. Plucking is the process by which a glacier picks off rocks as it blocks over the land.

What are two types of glacial erosion?
The two processes by which glaciers erode the land are plucking and abrasion.
What are the two most important processes in the cycling of oxygen in and out of the atmosphere?
weathering and erosion
Two processes that wear earth down and reshape landforms?
Erosion and Weathering
Describe the two major processes by which a river changes the land?
Deposition and erosion are two major processes by which a river changes the land. Erosion is the combination of weathering and deposition in which the water loosens and moves the land to another place.

Buried rock is exposed at earths surface by the combination of which two processes?
erosion and deposition
When does deposition occur during the overall erosion process?
The process of erosion (removal of material) is not the same as the process of deposition (the adding of material). As they are two separate processes, deposition is not a part of the overall erosion process. However, without eroded sediments, there would be nothing to deposit, the two processes are therefore sequential (and part of the overall encompassing rock cycle processes).
What two processes must take place before an unconformity can form in geology?
Erosion and deposition
