Stream Bank erosion is the wearing away of the banks of a stream or river. This is distinguished from erosion of the bed of the watercourse, which is referred to as scour.
The roots of trees growing by a stream are undercut by such erosion. As the roots bind the soil tightly, they form abutments which jut out over the water. These have a significant effect upon the rate and progress of the erosion.

How does gravity relate to a stream's ability to erode and deposit materials?
The gradient of a stream effects the energy as it has eroding soil and rock. This happens because depending on the pressure of the water flow, it can erode soil and rock.
What is the side of stream called?
The side of a stream is usually called its bank.
What is lateral erosion?
lateral erosion is the action of making a stream wider. The hydraulic action of the current hits one side of the bank with enough energy so that the material of the eroded bank falls into the stream and disintegrates. At the same time, the stream moves outwards towards towards the direction of erosion.

How are willow trees used for river bank protection?
By planting a pole or willow tree either alongside or close to the bank of a river. A willow tree will provide more effective erosion control if it is planted deeper than the eroding stream to provide a good anchorage point. The roots grow quite quickly in a moist environment and over several years growth will provide quite a substantial barrier to the eroding abilities of the river. After several years of growth the top portion of the willow can be partially cut and pushed into the stream to provide an even more effective barrier. This operation is called layering and the layered branches will send out roots when in contact with the water. It is advisable to tie each partially cut stem to avoid it breaking during an increase in water flow. After two to three years growth the layered willow is more able to anchor itself against flood flows. The important points when planting is to have water accessible to the willow and to plant the willow deeper than the eroding stream.
What can change the surface of the Earth very rapidly A. a stream eroding a canyon?
No, streams take a long long time to erode canyons - you only gave one choice so there aren't any others to consider. If you have a multiple choice question the best way to ask that on this website is to ask each choice as a separate question, such as "Can a stream eroding a canyon change the surface of the Earth very rapidly?"
