lateral erosion is the action of making a stream wider. The hydraulic action of the current hits one side of the bank with enough energy so that the material of the eroded bank falls into the stream and disintegrates. At the same time, the stream moves outwards towards towards the direction of erosion.
Hydraulic process-this is the eroding force of water on rocks.Solution process-running water has a corrosive or dissolving effect on the rocks over which it flows this is because it contains weak inorganic acids like carbonic acids and organic acid.
because leteral erosion is a poined river.
They are formed by the downcutting of a river or stream channel into and the abandonment and lateral erosion of its former floodplain.(Source: wikipedia)P.SPlease answer my question! :) I am Chocolate098
The law of original lateral continuity states sedimentary material extends laterally in all directions. This extension continues until it is terminated against the edges of their original basin of deposition.
There is water erosion, wind erosion, ice erosion, basically anything that breaks down earth materials is erosion.
The lateral malleolus is the lateral projection from the distal fibula. This projection is the bump at the outside of your ankle.
Lateral epicondyle of the humerus.
Lateral or horizontal erosion means erosion taken place on the sides of a footpath or river bank. The opposite if lateral/horizontal erosion is vertical erosion, where erosion is taken place under the river bed or the bottom of a footpath.
Horizontal erosion is also known as lateral erosion. It is the wearing away of earth from a footpath or river bank.
Vertical erosion occurs when the river erodes it's bed, causing the deepening of the bed. Laterial erosion occurs when the river erodes it's banks, causing it's channel to widen.
Lateral moraines are parallel ridges of debris deposited along the sides of a glacier

This happens because in the lower course of the river, where the channel is much closer to base level, there is much more lateral erosion taking place and a lot less vertical. In the upper course, more vertical erosion takes place because the river is cutting down in an attempt to reach base level. As the river is reaching its mouth in the lower course, less vertical erosion is needed. Also because the river has a greater velocity downstream, due to more water entering the river from tributaries, there is more kinetic energy for lateral erosion to take place. This leads to more erosion in the form of abrasion, hydraulic action and cavitation which will widen the river channel.
Healthy floodplains yield multiple benefits for the community including flood protection and erosion control.
There are no internal organs lateral to the ribs. The arms are lateral to the ribs.
Lateral in anatomy means toward the side. You arms are lateral to your body.
The lateral area of a prism is the sum of the area of the lateral faces
It is a lateral structure of the pelvis.
