Sources of a river

• Rivers start of when water comes through the
  ground until it finds rock and then follows the
  rock thus creating a bog
• Or when it snows heavily on the top of a mountain
  continues down and carves a river

The Water Cycle

• The Water cycle is never ending, when any type
  of water rises condenses into a cloud then falls
  as rain and just goes on and on

Transportation

• The river flows very fast, sometimes even taking
  and depositing rocks, mud and small pebbles also
  at the same time wearing away very slowly

Meanders

• A meander is when a river wears away
  the river bank and makes a very wide curve on
  the bank forming a meander

What are coasts

• A coast is when land meets sea. Some are very
  attractive like beaches, where as some are just
  cliffs, so the coasts just vary.

Coasts

How are coasts formed

• Coasts are formed by erosion wearing away
  creating sand dunes, beaches and cliffs. Here is
  a good example of erosion (this is now an
  undercut)

How do coasts change

• Coasts change also causing an undercut. An
  undercut is when the surging force of the water
  hitting the side of a cliff and eroding it.

How coasts erode

• An undercut is formed by erosion and the erosion
  just carries on so the whole cliff itself could
  get eroded and the coast gets pushed back

Caves
