Erosion and deposition have an amazingly close relationship. Erosion and depositions are the exact opposites of each other in terms of land.
The term that is defined as erosion that occurs in open air is weathering.
Erosion seems to have formed The Grand Canyon rather quickly, in geologic terms. Moving the hiking trails every three or four years will reduce the effects of erosion.
Erosion can be slowed in a number of ways, but by far the cheapest is to plant vegetation. After that, it would depend on the type of erosion you are trying to slow down...Marine erosionTo slow down Marine (Sea/Ocean) erosion, you could build an artificial reef, dump sand and/or various debris on the shore (which would be potentially unsightly) or you could build a sea defence system; including a sea wall as a secondary defence, and with wave breaks as a primary defence.Fluvial erosionAlthough there are small scale erosions like rill and gulley, these are very difficult to source and eliminate. A river, however, can be far more devastating, and also far more easy to track. A river meander (bend) is a fickle landform, and moves with exceptional speed (in geological terms). One can move from one side of the valley to another in decades, and can disappear completely in the same time. To prevent the movement of these meanders, farmers reinforce the outside bank of the meander with concrete or with metal rods.Aeolian erosionThere's really not a lot you can do here: apart from planting vegetation, there is little protection from the wind.Glacial erosionGlaciers are unstoppable. Unless you used some kind of a huge flame-thrower etc. you could never hope to stop a glacier. On the other hand, glaciers aren't worth worrying about as the only rocks they erode are those they are in contact with, and that's not rock that you'd be worrying about - unless you reside somehow on the sides of the trough...
In human terms, yes, although it may be noticeable in a matter of a few years in some situations. Obviously it depends on the rock and environment but geologically, weathering and erosion may be very slow or quite rapid.
it makes a bend which is better known in geography terms as a meander

in laymans terms, the salt causes erosion.
Although the terms are frequently used together, weathering and erosion are uniquely different. Weathering is the physical, chemical and biotic breakdown of a substance and erosion is how it is carried off. Ice, water and wind contribute to the erosion process.
Depending on what you mean by strong, chalk is terribly weak in terms of erosion.
They are both natural. They sometimes cause harm to the environment.
Avulsion occurs when a meandering river breaks through the base of a loop, cutting off the meander, and leaves the curve behind forming an oxbow lake.
