·Corrasion – Wearing away of the river bed and banks by the load hitting against them.

·Attrition – Wearing down of the load as the rocks and pebbles hit the river bed and each other.

·Chemical Action (Corrosion) – Water dissolves minerals from the rocks and washes them away.

·Traction – Quite large stones can be rolled or dragged along the river bed by the force of the water.
