Answer 1

Fluvial processes:

The fluvial process takes place in three ways, erosion, transportation, and deposition.
The erosional process is more active in the youth stage of landform development and gradually weakens towards the plain.
According to the Law of Erosion, erosion depends on the transportation capacity and the load of the river.

Process of erosion	Characteristics	Image
Corrasion	It is also known as the process of abrasion The process of rocks and pebbles carried by the waves wearing away rocks as they are thrown against cliffs. It depends on the load of the flowing water and the strength of the wave.
Attrition	The rocks and pebbles being carried by the river crash against each other, wearing them down to become smaller, rounded pebbles. Mutual wear and tear or collision of erosional tools In transit.
Corrosion	The chemical erosion of the rocks of the riverbank by the slightly acidic water. This occurs in streams running through rocks such as chalk and limestone. It means the removal of materials by solution
Sapping	Water forced to travel laterally due to its limited ability to travel vertically. It is a process of displacement of fine weathered sediments. It results in the headward migration of channels in response to near-constant fluid discharge at a fixed point.

In the process of erosion, the removal of materials by the solution is called Corrosion.
