See, the previous answer was wrong. The rivers wear away the land because of a agent in the river that is water. Water gradually, mostly quickly, goes through the soil, making it too soft. Then another strong stream of water erodes the soft soil (sediment) and wear away with it. This soil is taken forward and forward till it reaches it's destination.
