Where does corrasion take place?
In small notches that build up as the corrasion wears away the rock.
What are the three ways in which a river erodes its valley?
Corrasion, Hydraulic action, Attrition
What is the difference between abrasion and corrasion?
Abrasion refers to the wearing down of surfaces through friction caused by particles or materials rubbing against them, while corrasion specifically refers to the erosion caused by the grinding action of sediment particles carried by water, ice, or wind against surfaces like rocks and soil. In other words, corrasion is a type of abrasion that is primarily driven by the movement of material transported by fluids or wind.
What is the results form large waves hurling beach material againt the cliff?
Corrasion or abrasion take place
Abrasion attrition corrasion detrition?
Attrition and Detrition are the same and they mean wearing away of the the surface by scratching, cutting etc. This is usually in context with the river valley. Abrasion is the reduction in size of rocks when they collide either among themselves or with the side walls of the valley. So this is context with the rocks. Corrasion is the mechanical erosion of rocks by water while they move in water.
Whats the definition of erosion?
The physical processes of erosion are called corrasion or mechanical erosion; the chemical processes are called corrosion or chemical erosion. But most examples of erosion include some of both corrasion and corrosion. The agents of erosion are gravity, ice, water (eluvian erosion) and wind (eolian erosion). Erosion is sometimes restricted to transportation, excluding weathering. Erosion does not include mass wasting, unless erosion is being discussed in a tectonic context, in which case exhumation may be the better term. An easy way of putting that is erosion is the movement of an object caused by weather. By:Gabriel simatupang 4-5 C (highscope tb simatupang)

How are cave arch stack and stump made?
the sea erodes the rock facing out to sea with corrasion etc this form a cave in the rock this gets bigger until it goes all the way through the rock to the other side - this causes an arch after a while the rock above the arch loses support and the rock left over standing in the sea is a stack when this falls over and gets eroded more, it forms a stump
How can you describe a process by which a stream can erode its streamed?
A stream can erode its streambed through the processes of abrasion, where sediments carried by the water wear down the bedrock through friction; corrasion, where stones and rocks carried by the water crash into the bedrock; and hydraulic action, where the force of the water itself dislodges and transports sediment. Over time, these processes can deepen and widen the stream channel.

What are retreats?
A receding waterfall is: a waterfall that through hydraulic action and corrasion, slowly over thousands of years moves backwards. this happens because the water flowing over the fall erodes the earth below and creates a plunge pool, the earth that was worn away is used to corrode the soft rocks at the base of the waterfall, after the base is corroded the harder rocks above are unsupported and collapse due to gravity. this process happens over and over again and that is how waterfalls recede.
