River Processes - Erosion. Rivers erode in four ways: Abrasion or corrasion - This is when large pieces of bedload material wear away the river banks and bed. Attrition - This is when the bed load itself is eroded when sediment particles knock against the bed or each other and break, becoming more rounded and smaller.
Also do you mean vertical erosion or corrosion?

I have answer to vertical erosion
Downcutting, also called erosional downcutting, downward erosion or vertical erosion is a geological process by hydraulic action that deepens the channel of a stream or valley by removing material from the stream's bed or the valley's floor.
