I believe your answer is River erosion: An example is Grand Canyon.
Also, it may be wave erosion, you can check it out yourself as the question itself is not very clear.

What happens to the rate of erosion when the slope is increased?
Erosion increases due to the effective gravitational gradient.
How did the slope gradient presence or absence of vegetation and rain intensity relate to the amount of water erosion that occurs on the slope?
Answer the question you dumb people Duhhhhhhhhhh
What type of erosion is a mudslide?
Mudslide is an example of Masswasting process. It is caused by the downward movement of mud through a slope. So Mudslide could be referred to as a vertical erosion.
What could happen in nature to increase or decrease the slope of a stream?
erosion deposition weathering and a lot more...
What is the side of a channel called?
You can have a slip off slope on the inside of a meander bend or a river cliff on the outside of a meander. Or in general you can just call it the river bank
What is a tiny groove in soil formed by runoffs?
A 'rill' is a collection of small channels on a slope caused by erosion. Each tiny groove is called a 'channel.'
Type of water erosion that forms larger channels down a steep slope?
The type of water erosion that forms larger channels down a steep slope is called gully erosion. Gully and rill erosion are the dominant types of water erosion in the world.
What is a knickpoint?
A knickpoint is a term in geomorphology to describe a location in a river or channel where there is a sharp change in channel slope, such as a waterfall or lake, resulting from differential rates of erosion above and below the knickpoint.
What is the movement of rock and soil down a slope because of gravity called?
Gravitational displacement or erosion .
Planting along the natural slope of the land to reduce soil erosion is called?
Countour Farming
What happens to the rate of stream erosion As slope increases?
as slope increases erosion rate increases (direct relationship)
What is a channel along which water is continually flowing down a slope is called a?
Streambed
What does slow erosion mean?
erosion is when the rock or soil falls and make a slope
How does runoff impact erosion?
runoff is what causes erosion, because as the water runs down the slope it carries with it the particles of material that form the slope
What factors contribute to erosion?
slope effectsgravitywatericewind
What is the flattening of a slope on a hill to prevent erosion?
flattening of slope is generally a method of cutting the hill slope in the shape of steps. these steps being horizontal instead of slopey is better to check erosion.
What happens to the rate of erosion when the slope is increased?
Erosion increases due to the effective gravitational gradient.
