What is hydraulic action in a river?
Hydraulic action is a key erosion process in rivers, where the force of moving water exerts pressure on riverbanks and beds. This pressure can cause rocks and sediment to dislodge and break apart, contributing to the shaping of the river's landscape. The impact of turbulent water can also lead to the formation of features like potholes and riverbanks' undercutting. Overall, hydraulic action plays a significant role in the dynamic processes of river erosion and sediment transport.
How can diamonds form at river beds?
