They become smooth and oval shaped, because the rushing water erodes the rock fragment/s.
Oceans and wind and rain push it into the water
I want to know the same thing!
Its size and shape changes.
They get smaller and more rounded
They get larger and rounded
As runnoff travels it forms tiny grooves and as a stream runs down erosion happens as the rocks get carried away. Poops
Sediment and small rocks are carried down in the river and are deposited.
The sediment size carried by the stream increases. EW
A load is the term for particles carried by a stream or river.
It will eventually be ground down into a round rock, then gravel, and finally sand.
A stream can bounce large pebbles and boulders, along the stream bed. These rocks are called bed load. A stream can carry sand in suspension. These materials, called suspended load, make the river look muddy. The dissolved load is material carried in a solution, which means that the material is dissolved in the water. Sodium and calcium are some of the materials in the dissolved load.
Little sediments are carried by the eroding stream
load or stream load.

Most likely a fast moving stream.
