The process of shaping the landscape by river in which we live is called as Weathering or Erosion.

Step-by-step explanation:

Flowing river water has the power to cut and decorate the landscape. This process is called as Weathering or Erosion. Over time, there are many land forms that have been shaped by rivers. Rivers come from the waterfalls.

For example, upper static erosion of the river is steep and pulled down by gravity, which causes it to fall deep into the ground. The rocks on the sides of the valley slide down and form a V-shape. Over a time, corrosion can dramatically change the shape of the earth.
