The formation of river rocks requires moving water and smaller rocks. Rocks easily eroded by water more likely form river rocks. Typical rocks with jagged edges can fall into the bottom of a river or stream bed or remain on the river bank. The speed of the river determines how quickly the rock becomes a river rock. Weathering of River Rocks jQuery(document).ready(function(){ jQuery(‘#jsArticleStep1 span.image a:first’).attr(‘href’,’http://i.ehow.com/images/GlobalPhoto/Articles/5471789/390361_Full.jpg’); }); Water moving sediment smoothes the edges of river rocks. In the river, water flows constantly over the rocks. The movement of water itself does not weather the rocks, but that water carries with it smaller pieces of rocks, se
