Although the Nile is the longest, I believe the Amazon will cause the most erosion. The Amazon has the greatest discharge: the amount of water it transfers, so you can imagine that the erosive force is great too. The greater the volume of water, the greater the sheer force it exerts on its banks and bed, as well as anything that stands as an obstacle.
