Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Flowing water erodes stream channels through a combination of chemical weathering, hydraulic action, and abrasion. Chemical weathering dissolves rock, hydraulic action involves the force of water breaking rock particles away from the channel, and abrasion occurs as those particles and other materials carried by the stream wear away at the channel bed and sides.
