Rivers shape landscapes through erosion and deposition by flowing water, carrying sediment, and altering the land over time. Erosion occurs when the river wears away rock and soil, creating features like valleys and canyons. Deposition happens when the river deposits sediment in specific areas, forming features such as river deltas and alluvial plains. Over time, these processes sculpt the land and create diverse landscapes shaped by the river's continuous flow and movement of sediment.
