It should be obvious that the force of running water will create erosion in the first place. Running water will physically move objects and “carve” or erode rock formations if the motion and volume of water is continual. In the “youth” stage of river cycle, a river does just this: It carves out a path to it’s final destination over rock formations, wearing away the land as it does so. . * Earth’s main agent of natural erosion.
