Rivers shape landscapes over time through erosion and deposition. As a river flows, it erodes the land by carrying sediment and wearing away rocks, creating valleys and canyons. The sediment carried by the river is deposited along its banks, forming floodplains and deltas. Over thousands of years, rivers can carve out intricate networks of channels, creating diverse landscapes shaped by the flow of water.
