Rivers - AQA GCSE Geography Latest 2023 Already Passed Hydraulic action The force of the water hitting the river bed and banks. This is most effective when the water is moving fast and when there is a lot of it. Abrasion When the load carried by the river repeatedly hits the bed or banks dislodging particles into the flow of the river. Attrition When stones carried by the river knock against each other, gradually making the stones smaller and more rounded. Solution When the river flows over l...
