What is the difference between vertical and lateral erosion?

Vertical erosion refers to the downward cutting of a river channel, deepening it vertically, while lateral erosion involves the sideways erosion of the riverbanks, widening the river channel. Vertical erosion creates V-shaped valleys, while lateral erosion contributes to the widening of floodplains.

What landforms results when running water such as a river erodes rock and soil from an area?

When running water erodes rock and soil, it can create landforms such as valleys, canyons, gorges, and river deltas. Valleys and canyons are formed by the gradual erosion of the surrounding landscape, while river deltas are formed when sediment carried by the river is deposited at its mouth. Gorges are narrow valleys with steep sides, often carved out by fast-moving rivers.


How are meanders formed in river systems?

Meanders are formed in river systems through a combination of erosion and deposition. As water flows downstream, it erodes the outer bank of a river bend, creating a curve or loop. The faster-moving water on the outer bank erodes more material, while the slower-moving water on the inner bank deposits sediment. Over time, this process causes the river to meander and form S-shaped curves.
