Erosion is largely done by sediment being transported by the water I believe. The same principle is used in cutting water jets, it isnt the water pressure that cuts things, the water is a medium for abrasive materials

This is also how they cut rocks in ancient egypt I believe? Not with water, mind you, but would use a pretty mediocre if not useless saw but would drop sand in there, so it was actually the sand cutting the rock
Yep! The would use a saw that often had a blade made of string, like a bow, but would but gritty, sandy water in the hole they were cutting to slowly grind it away. I think they would also use “dull” copper saws (don’t quote me on that one though)

As my compatriot elucidated, when we were wee morons of damn near adult age, “I could keep stabbing this pole with this piece of metal, and after many eons of stabbing, this pole would come down!”
I may just hallucinated . actually that young man graduated and went on.
huh?
because how much force the water is hitting it matters, you can just cut your drainage pipe in half if you use those water blades.
Eventually, water always wins. But that eventually can take a lot longer than we have patience for
Water is also lazy though, and will go wherever is easiest. And that frequently means exactly where you don’t want it to go.
Some say it just goes with the flow.
But, shall we discuss the ways will go? Sets watch
That omission even hits it harder
New rock paper scissors just dropped. Rock Water Hair.
Hair blocks water. Rock breaks hair. Water cuts rock.
