... As rivers carve through Earth’s surface, carrying water according to gravity from higher to lower ground, they pick up and transport rocks and sediment. This first causes erosion and eventually deposition, when the rivers drop the rocks in the sea or in river beds. (11) Tap the river to speed it up. ...
