Attrition - rocks smashing into each other and breaking down becoming smaller and smoother
Abrasion - rocks that are in the river wearing down the banks and river bed
Solution - soluble particles dissolving
Hydraulic Action - when there are cracks in the banks / cliffs, water can push air into them which creates pressure causing the cracks to get bigger
Hope this is what you wanted and I hope it helps. :)

There are four types of erosion: Attrition, Abrasion, Solution and Hydraulic action.
Hydraulic action- the force of water that wears away the river bank from underneath.
Attrition- rocks being carried by the river smash together and break into smaller pieces. Over time, they become smaller and are reduced into fine particles called slit.
Abrasion- stones that are carried by the river bump into the river bank and wear them away.
Solution- acids in the water slowly dissolve the river banks and the stones- especially limestone- that the river is carrying.

Do the people of Taiwan feel they should be recognized as an independent state?
defon

Answer:

I believed they should be recognized as most of the people in Taiwan are supporting this idea.

Explanation:

In modern period according to me it is unthinkable that people of certain area and country are not able to decide on their own whether they want to support  certain political idea and agendas.

That is why people of Taiwan should decide on their own whether they would like to live an independent country or to remain the part of China.

Does anyone know how to do transformation

I can't see the picture, but to do the dilation you must first figure out the coordinates of the first image and then figure out what half of it is and add that on to the new image or take that much off of the new image.

*To dilate means to make bigger or smaller
