Most people generally associate the word "Corrosion" as something which occurs to metals. The most commonly recognized type is rust.

However, in the sense used here corrosion is another name for dissolution, whereby the chemicals in the water corrode (dissolve) away the river bed and bank, changing the passage of the river.

NOTE: This process happens very slowly.
