What is the difference between vertical and lateral erosion?

Vertical erosion refers to the downward cutting of a river channel, deepening it vertically, while lateral erosion involves the sideways erosion of the riverbanks, widening the river channel. Vertical erosion creates V-shaped valleys, while lateral erosion contributes to the widening of floodplains.


What is vertical erosion?

Vertical erosion is when the depth of the river is greater than the width causing erosion to take place on the bed of the river. This is also when lots of water enters the river but not as much is exiting it.

What types of erosion happen in meanders?

In meanders, both lateral erosion and vertical erosion can occur. Lateral erosion is caused by the river eroding the outer bank of the meander loop, while vertical erosion is the deepening of the river channel at the inner bank of the meander due to the faster flow of water along the outside of the bend.


Why does the occupied channel width increase as you get further downstream?

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.


Why does the erosion take place in the crust?

Erosion happens in the earths crust and it happens because of that layer is exposed to that weather


What is downwards erosion which widens the channel?

Downward erosion, also known as vertical erosion, occurs when a river cuts down into the bedrock of its channel, deepening the channel over time. As the river erodes vertically, it can also widen its channel through lateral erosion, which occurs when the river cuts into its banks and widens its valley. Together, vertical and lateral erosion shape the landscape and create features such as canyons and river valleys.
