Weathering is the reduction in size of the parent rocks. Erosion is the movement of the rock particles to a different location, in this case, via river water.

What is the process called when glacier pick up rocks?

The process of a glacier picking up rocks and transporting them is called "glacial entrainment" or "glacial plucking." When a glacier moves over bedrock, it can freeze onto and pluck rocks from the surface, incorporating them into the ice. These rocks can then be transported and eventually deposited as the glacier flows and melts.

What happens to the load of rocks and soil that a rivers pick up?

The load of rocks and soil picked up by rivers is transported downstream through erosion and sedimentation. Along the way, the rocks and soil can be deposited as sediment, contributing to the formation of riverbanks, deltas, and floodplains. This process plays a critical role in shaping the landscape and maintaining the health of river ecosystems.

How does rivers cause erosion?

water in a river is constantly moving. Moving water will pick up sediments from the bottom of a river, and carry them with it. Water also has the power to move large rocks slowly along the bottom of a river.
