Erosion, Transportation and Deposition quiz - AQA GCSE Geography

Which process of erosion matches with the definition? The force of the water breaks particles away from the river channel.

Abrasion is when eroded rocks smash into each other and break into smaller fragments.

[blank_start]Abrasion[blank_end] is what happens when eroded rocks are [blank_start]picked[blank_end] up by the river. They scrape and rub against the river [blank_start]channel[blank_end], wearing it away. The [blank_start]most[blank_end] erosion happens this way.

Which is the definition of 'solution' (in terms of erosion)?

[blank_start]Hydraulic action[blank_end] is when the force of the [blank_start]water[blank_end] [blank_start]breaks[blank_end] particles [blank_start]away from[blank_end] the river [blank_start]channel[blank_end].

Traction is when large particles like boulders are pushed along the river bed by the force of the water.

Saltation is when small particles like silt and clay are carried along in the water.

Match the definition with the correct word: Pebble sized particles are bounced along the river bed by the force of the water.

[blank_start]Transportation[blank_end] is the [blank_start]movement[blank_end] of eroded [blank_start]material[blank_end].

[blank_start]Suspension[blank_end] is when small [blank_start]particles[blank_end] such as [blank_start]silt[blank_end] and clay are [blank_start]carried[blank_end] along in the [blank_start]river[blank_end] water.

[blank_start]Deposition[blank_end] is when a [blank_start]river[blank_end] drops [blank_start]eroded[blank_end] material.

Which of the options below are reasons that a river would drop eroded material?
