- Synopsis
- This page shows four images of river valley erosion. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left when the image is the correct way up. Each image is surrounded by an image border. In each image the river is shown in cross section with the water in the centre of each image. There are stones in the water. The image in the top left of the page shows vertical downwards erosion. Stones and rock particles are scraped and bounced along the channel bed. The image in the top right of the page shows the steep sides being attacked by weathering. This breaks up and loosens the soil and rock. The image in the bottom left of the page shows the loosened material creeping down the slope because of gravity and rainwater washing it down. The river then carries it away. The image in the bottom right of the page shows the final shape of the valley.
