  • Moving streams are so powerful that it can wear away soil rocks.
  • Rocks on higher land get eroded due to the strong current of the streams and they in turn get carried away into the sea.
  • Silt too is brought down from the mountain top from where the streams originate.
  • Most of the sand in the river is silt carried by the streams and the weather material from inland rocks transported by the streams.
  • The moving of soil and rock with the stream, termed as erosion can be summed up as the cause of sand formation in a river.
