... Geography Water on the Land Channel processes and landforms I. Distinguish between vertical and lateral erosion and examine where along the course of a river, each is likely to occur. (10 marks) Along the course of a river, there are various processes that take place, including several different types of erosion. Erosion is the wearing away of something over a period of time, and the two main types of erosion, upon which I will be focusing, are vertical and lateral erosion. Furthermore, there are four main processes of river erosion, which I will go into greater detail. Vertical erosion is specific to the upper course of a river, which is due to the high altitude and steep gradient of the source of the river, eroding in a downwards direction. It takes place at this point along the course of the river because the river is trying to find the quickest route to sea level
