Is it erosion or weathering that widens a river's bank?
It is erosion by flowing water, especially when the river is in spate, that can widen the river's banks.
What did American Pioneer James Wilson Marshall discover?
In 1848 he was constructing a sawmill at Coloma by the American River in California. The tailrace of the mill was too narrow, so, on January 23rd he decided widen it by using the natural force of the river to deepen and widen the chanel. The next morning he saw tiny sparkling flecks in the silt. It was gold, of very high quality! Gold had already been discovered in North Carolina in 1803, but Marshall's find started the Californian Gold Rush of 1848-49. For more information, see Related Links below this box.

What is the difference between vertical and lateral erosion?
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.
The place where a river widens and meets the sea?
The place where a river will widen and join into the sea is called a delta. This is the area where a river offloads its water and silt contents.
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.
