What is the difference between vertical and lateral erosion?

What river erodes its channel wider rather than deeper?
A mature river erodes its channel wider rather than deeper. The gradient of a mature river is less steep than young rivers, and the water flows more smoothly. Examples of mature rivers are the Thames, Mississippi, and Ohio rivers.
What may be found where groundwater erodes limestone to form valleys sinkholes and caverns?

How are dry valleys formed?
when melted water from the ice age erodes a valley but without the constant flow of water from the melting ice it dries up as there is not enough water to keep flowing through it, so it dries up but leaves the valley it has cut into the landscape. when melted water from the ice age erodes a valley but without the constant flow of water from the melting ice it dries up as there is not enough water to keep flowing through it, so it dries up but leaves the valley it has cut into the landscape.

Describe the change in the landscape as a river erodes its valley over thousands of years.?

How can sedimentary rocks affect the landscape?
