Streams can't erode their channels endlessly. there is a lower limit to how deep can a stream erode. Base level is the lowest point to which a stream can erode its channels.

The base level is the lowest point to which a stream can erode its channel. This can be the level of the body of water into which the stream flows, such as a lake or ocean, or an artificial structure like a dam. At base level, erosion stops and sediment deposition begins.
A cave is sometimes created when waves erode a headland.
Streams erode their channels primarily through abrasion, the mechanical wearing away of rock and sediment. They also erode through the dissolution of soluble materials in the water, such as limestone. Finally, streams can erode their channels through hydraulic action, which is the force of moving water against the channel banks.
Streams erode their channels through abrasion, which involves the physical wearing away of rocks and sediments as water and particles collide and grind against the channel bed. Additionally, streams erode by hydraulic action, where the force of moving water dislodges and transports material from the banks and bed. This combination of processes contributes to the continuous reshaping of the stream's channel over time.
Streams erode their channels through processes such as hydraulic action, where the force of water removes soil and rock, and through the impact of sediment and debris carried by the water, which grind against the channel surfaces. Additionally, streams can erode by undercutting banks, leading to collapse and further widening of the channel. Together, these processes shape the landscape and contribute to the ongoing evolution of river systems.
Upsteam, in the mountains, the water may be flowing over rocks. In the valleys, the depth of earth and softer material is greater, so enabling the river to erode a deeper channel.
Yes, waves can erode the land through abrasion, where particles carried by the waves wear down rocks and other surfaces. Additionally, waves can deposit sediment they have carried, contributing to the formation of beaches and coastal landforms.
No, coastal rock erosion can vary depending on factors like wave action, weather conditions, and the type of rock. Some areas may experience faster erosion due to stronger currents and waves, while others may erode more slowly. Additionally, human activities and coastal structures can also influence the rate of erosion.
