How does speed of water in a river affect its ability to cause erosion?
The faster the speed of water in a river the more erosion is causes. The slower the water the less amount of erosion it causes.
Why is the work of erosion and transportation of a river more in mountains than in plains?
The work of erosion and transportation is more in the mountains than in the plains because a river flows very fast in the highlands, leaving more scope to deposit water and finally cause erosion. But in the tables, the flow of the river is slower. It leaves less scope for water deposit and thus results in less deterioration.

Which will cause more erosion slow or fast moving river?
A fast-moving river will erode the land faster.
Does erosion create soil?
It's the other way around. Erosion takes soil away and removes it. Erosion is bad for the soil. The more erosion there is, the less soil there is.
Why is the sediment load in a river an indicator of the amount of weathering and erosion?
Because the bigger the load is, more weathering and erosion there is. The less of it means less of weathering and erosion.

Why does the occupied channel width increase as you get further downstream?
This happens because in the lower course of the river, where the channel is much closer to base level, there is much more lateral erosion taking place and a lot less vertical. In the upper course, more vertical erosion takes place because the river is cutting down in an attempt to reach base level. As the river is reaching its mouth in the lower course, less vertical erosion is needed. Also because the river has a greater velocity downstream, due to more water entering the river from tributaries, there is more kinetic energy for lateral erosion to take place. This leads to more erosion in the form of abrasion, hydraulic action and cavitation which will widen the river channel.

Broad curves in a river where erosion is more prominent are known as?
meanders
How do rivers get deeper and wider?
They get wider by wheatering out the surronding rocks , erosion.
Which will cause more erosion a slow or fast moving river?
A fast moving river will. This is true because in a fast moving river more sediment is picked up from theedges of the stream and the bed making the riverwider and deeper. Also more rocks will be picked up eroding the other rocks.In a slow moving river less sediment will be picked up, and the river will erode slower.Therefor the river will also pick up less rocks and or smaller rocksthat wont erode the river as fast.
Does more runoff generally mean less erosion?
true
Will more or less erosion happen when the waves are large?
much more when bigger
How does erosion effect Mississippi River?
Erosion effects the Mississippi river by causing collapse in the banks of the river. Erosion also causes the river to change course slightly as the banks change.
Which will cause more erosion slow or fast moving river?
A fast-moving river will erode the land faster.
