Rivers are like slow-moving sculptors. When they flow, they carry dirt and rocks with them, kind of like a tiny army that chips away at the ground. Over time, this makes canyons deeper and valleys wider. It’s as if rivers have been drawing pictures on the Earth for millions of years.
Examples
- Rivers chip away at rocks, just like a sculptor uses chisels, over time, they make big canyons.
- A river carries sand like a painter carries paint, it paints the Earth with its flow, making valleys wider and deeper.
- Even small rivers can carve big changes, turning hills into valleys when they keep flowing for thousands of years.
