Erosion:Wearing things down Hydraulic action:The force of water causes cracks on the bank Attrition:When rocks hit each other and wear down Abrasion:Rock wear away at the bank
Evolution
The term for erosion caused by stones in a river is called abrasion. This occurs when stones and pebbles carried by the river grind against the riverbed and banks, wearing them away over time.
Evolution
Canyons, valleys, meanders, river terraces, and floodplains are five landforms caused by river erosion.
There is typically more erosion on the outer bends of a river where the current is strongest and more energy is available to move and erode sediment. In contrast, there is usually less erosion on the inner bends of a river where the flow is slower and sediment is deposited forming point bars.

Evolution
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.

Erosion by moving water in a river is called fluvial erosion.
It is erosion by flowing water, especially when the river is in spate, that can widen the river's banks.
The Arkansas River was formed by erosion, not deposition.
It depends how fast the wave and river speed are.
Well it was formed by the Colorado river! Which is water erosion!
Water erosion
Vertical erosion is when the depth of the river is greater than the width causing erosion to take place on the bed of the river. This is also when lots of water enters the river but not as much is exiting it.
