Abrasion is a sediment motion process in a stream that can create finer sediment clasts.
It occurs when larger particles are transported by the flowing water and collide with each other or with the bedrock, breaking into smaller fragments.
This process of mechanical wear and grinding contributes to the production of finer sediment in rivers and streams.
