Water itself has little erosive power except on friable materials such as sand, earth, and gravel. Once there materials are in transport, they may be used as abrasive processes to shape even the hardest and resistant rocks.
So valleys and gorges are formed, and unusual shapes such as waterfalls and U-shaped valleys.
Eventually, the gravels and silts are deposited as the water speed slows, though even at zero water velocity, the suspended fine silts will disperse in the sea or a lake and may take weeks to settle.
This process is called erosion.
A low water land formed at the mouth of a river is called a delta. Deltas are typically triangular or fan-shaped, and are created by the deposition of sediment carried by the river as it slows down and spreads out into a body of water such as a lake or ocean. Deltas are often rich in nutrients and support diverse ecosystems.
A cape is a geographical feature that typically extends into a body of water, such as an ocean or sea. It is formed by the erosion of the coastline, resulting in a point of land projecting outwards into the water.
A stream valley landform is the most common result of erosion by flowing water over a long period of time. Water shapes the land by cutting through rock and soil, creating a valley with a stream or river running through it.
A glacier is a land form as it is a large mass of ice that moves slowly over land. It is not considered a body of water, but rather a type of land feature formed from accumulated snow and ice.
water erosion's shape the land into weird shapes :)
A canyon is a land form that is carved by running water over a long period of time, usually through erosion. The force of the water wears away the rock or soil, resulting in the formation of a deep, narrow valley with steep sides.
