Quotation from: General Science

Written by: Bertha M. Clark


Running water in the form of streams and rivers, by carrying sand
particles, stones, and rocks from high slopes and depositing them at
lower levels, wears away land at one place and builds it up at
another, and never ceases in its work of changing the nature of the
earth's surface (Fig. 35).

character of the land.]
