GENERAL GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Attrition is a form of coastal or river erosion. Attrition is a kind of fluvial erosion in which the bed load is eroded by its own wear and tear by rolling and colliding the material. The rough rocks are divided into smaller stones and cailloux.

Detailed explanation-2: -Attrition – where rocks in the water become smaller and rounder by hitting each other. Transportation There are four ways in which a rivers moves its eroded material downstream; traction, saltation, suspension and solution.

Detailed explanation-3: -Definition: Attrition is an erosional process. Rocks and pebbles are carried in the flow of a river. They repeatedly knock into each other, which causes the rocks to erode or to break. As the rocks continue to collide, they erode more and more, getting smaller and smaller until they are only sediment. Attrition.

Detailed explanation-4: -Attrition is when material such as rocks and stones carried by waves hit and knock against each other wearing them down. As these materials are worn down sand and rounded beach pebbles are formed. Cliffs. Sea cliffs are one of the clearest examples of sea erosion that we can see.

Detailed explanation-5: -Rivers erode in four ways: Abrasion or corrasion-This is when large pieces of bedload material wear away the river banks and bed. Attrition-This is when the bed load itself is eroded when sediment particles knock against the bed or each other and break, becoming more rounded and smaller.
