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.
What is a large channel in soil formed by erosion?
Gully :D
Is a stream a result of erosion or deposition?
A stream, which flows in a channel, is formed as a result of erosion as the channel itself must be formed from erosion. Deposition is not common here, but there is a lot of loose material in the stream which is eroded over time, which has been put there through erosion. The material is first eroded further, then transported, and will ultimately be deposited at the mouth.
What affects stream erosion?
There are three factors that affect stream erosion. These are water velocity, shape, size and depth of channel, and stream capacity to transport eroded materials.
What is a stream that has channel with many curves?
A stream with a channel that has many curves is sometimes called a meander. This area often offers a large amount of erosion and damage to the surrounding land.
How has erosion changed the channel?
Which one? No matter, generally it widens and, or deepens it.
What could have caused a river to become wider?
If you mean how the river widens, the usually cause is erosion.
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 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.
Which type of erosion creates a larger channel?
Gully Erosion creates a larger channel.
What is the process by which ice widens and deepens cracks in rock in called?
The general term for this is "erosion".

How does a river obtain its sediment load from outside the channel?
erosion
What is channel erosion?
It is when the sea waves crash against the rock on the channel wasking it away making it shorter
What do saxophones look like?
They are a bent shape that angles from the mouthpiece downwards to where the keys are. This part extends outards and widens to amplify the air blown into it and make a wind instrument note. A picture would also help describe it.

What is the definition of gulley erosion?
Gulley erosion is a process in which water flows down a small, narrow channel, transporting sediment to lower ground.
