The Work of Rivers

The erosional work of streams/rivers carves
  and shapes the landscape through which
  they flow.
3 functions of rivers
c. Erosion
d. Transportation
e. Deposition
The Work of Rivers

A. Erosion
•A river may erode in 4 ways
3.Abrasion/corrasion
Load carried by a river will grind against its
bed and sides.
This process slowly wears the bed and sides
away.
The Work of Rivers

A. Erosion
2. Attrition
When thrown against the sides and bed of
rivers, the load gets broken into smaller
pieces.
The Work of Rivers

A. Erosion
3. Hydraulic action
The work of turbulence in the water.
Running water causes friction in the joints of
rocks in a stream channel
Joints may be enlarged
Loosened fragments of rocks get swept away.
The Work of Rivers

A. Erosion
4. Solution/Corrosion
Certain minerals in rocks like limestone can
be dissolved in water.
Rocks are then eroded.
The Work of Rivers
Relationship of velocity and sediment size to
erosion
The Work of Rivers

B. Transportation (4 ways)
The Work of Rivers

B. Transportation (4 ways)
•Traction
Larger and heavier rocks/gravels are dragged or
rolled along the bed.
The Work of Rivers

B. Transportation (4 ways)
2. Saltation (saltim: by leaps/jumps)
Smaller and lighter rock fragments and sand
hop and bounce along the river bed.
At times, the distinction between traction and
saltation may be difficult to determine.
The Work of Rivers

B. Transportation (4 ways)
3. Suspension
Some of the load like silt and clay (fine-
grained) will float along.
They may only be deposited when stream
velocity reaches near 0.
Turbulence in the water is crucial in holding a
load of sediments.
The Work of Rivers

B. Transportation (4 ways)
4. Solution
Some minerals are transported in dissolved
form.
Especially chemical solution derived from
minerals like limestone or dolomite.
The Work of Rivers

C. Deposition
A river will drop its load when:
c. Volume decreases
d. Speed decreases
The Work of Rivers

C. Deposition
A river’s volume decreases when
• Dry season
• Dry region with high evaporation
• Presence of permeable rocks
• Receding flood waters
The Work of Rivers

C. Deposition
A river’s speed decreases when
• It enters a lake
• It enters a calm sea
• It enters a gently sloping plain
The Work of Rivers

The work of a river depends on its energy
Energy a function of
c. Volume of water
d. Speed of water flow (dependent on gradient)
