Gravity can cause water to move down and carry sediment and rocks along the bottom. if the water slows down, it drops the rocks and if it floods a field then the grass will also filter smaller particles out leaving fine sediment behind. In addition to it the fast flow of water can cause erosion, over time it can cause valleys as well.
