Erosion in Rivers
  1. Hydraulic Power
    1. The force of the water on beds + banks of rivers
      1. Powerful when there is a flood
        1. It powers most of the types of erosion in rivers
    2. Corrasion/Abrasion
      1. Pebbles + boulders being carried along by the river
        1. It erodes the bed + bank away
      2. Corrosion
        1. Sometimes river water is slightly acidic and it can dissolve rocks over a period of time
          1. An example of this is the dissolving of limestone
            1. We get calcium hydrogen carbonate
        2. Attrition
          1. Pebbles banging into each other powered by hydraulic power
            1. This causes the pebbles to eventually break
