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

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.

Katena32 [7]

Answer: B. participate in the hydrologic cycle

Explanation: Residence time of water is the rate of water in a water reservoir such as the ocean or the atmosphere divided by how fast more water is added to it or lost from it.

While residence time is thousands of years in oceans, water in the atmosphere has a short residence time of abut 10 – 11 days. This allows it to participate in the hydrologic cycle which includes evaporation and precipitation. Water in the atmosphere precipitates as snow or rain, returning to other water reservoirs.
