Why does fast-moving water lead to greater erosion than slow-moving water?

It has more energy.


It usually flows in a straight line.


It evaporates faster.


The particles it carries are smaller.

The answer would be it has more energy. The faster something moves, the more energy it has and the amount of friction applied it greater than it would be if it was moving slower
