Large boulders and smaller rocks can be carried by a river. When rocks and sediment are displaced, it's called erosion.
When large boulders are carried along by a river, this process is known as "bed load transport." The boulders are moved along the riverbed, typically by the force of the water, and can be rolled, slid, or lifted depending on the flow velocity and the size of the boulders. This phenomenon is a key component of river erosion and sediment transport.

Memphis, TN is located along the Mississippi River.
Large boulders carried along by a river are known as "cobbles" or "boulder loads," depending on their size. These rocks are transported by the river's current through a process called erosion, where water wears away the surrounding material. As the flow of the river changes, these boulders can be deposited in different locations, contributing to the river's geomorphology and ecosystem. Their movement can shape riverbanks and create habitats for various organisms.
