Explanation:
It is expected that the rocks in a stream will eventually be transformed into a sediment and deposited in the same basin or carried away.
- As the rock body inside the water begins to absorb water, it will eventually undergo chemical weathering.
- Rock chips from other bed-loads carried by the flowing stream will cause the breaking down of the rock mass in the stream mechanically.
- The above processes are classified as weathering.
The stream can erode its own bed causing the washing away of the weathered rock materials. Stream erosion occurs when weathered materials are washed away either in solution or as bed load moving on the base of the stream.
During transportation, the materials are carried away to nearby basins where the sediments are deposited under gravity.
