Depends on wether you are looking ato coastal or fluvial environments
A river is erroded by four processes:
1. corrasion - the erosion of the bed and banks where the rivers bedload(rocks and material it is transporting) they are worn away by abrasion. This is most efective in times of banfull discharge and flood.
2.Attrition - Is the erosion and rounding of the bedload either through collisions with the bed and banks or through colisions with other bedload.
3.Corrosion - This is a process which is not influenced by velocity and river energy. It occurs when acid in the river through leaching and contamination by pollutants or agri-chemicals errodes the bed and banks
4.Hyraulic action - Where the hydraulic force of the flow hits cracks and fissures in the bed and bankc compressing air within them and creating pressure. This exploits the cracks and with time causes collapse of the bed and banks
