- Attrition
- The wearing away of the land by an agent of erosion.
- Transportation
- The removal of weathered material and subsequent movement.
- Saltation
- Solution
- Minerals are dissolved in sea water and carried in solution. The
load is not visible. Load can come from cliffs made from chalk or
limestone, and calcium carbonate is carried along in solution.

- Suspension
- Small particles are carried in water,
eg silts and clays, which can make
the water look cloudy. Currents pick
up large amounts of sediment in
suspension during a storm, when
strong winds generate high energy
waves.
