Rivers change over time, but the sediments they deposit in their channels often remains as conglomerate, sandstone, and mudstone, and can be investigated by the geologist to reveal a great deal of information about the ancient river, climate, erosion, and even about entire mountain ranges that have disappeared (rivers erode mountains, and the pebbles and boulders in a river sediment can be studied to give some idea of the geology of these ancient mountains).
