Correct Answer: lateral erosion
Solution : The answer is lateral erosion.
The river becomes more profound due to vertical erosion, while lateral erosion erodes the banks and forms a cliff. In lateral erosion, the river erodes its banks and widens the river channel. It is also known as sideways erosion. A V-shaped river valley may be found in the upper course of the river, formed by both vertical and lateral erosion combined.
