Downcutting: Overview & Lake bed downcutting

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 bed or the valley floor. The speed of downcutting depends on the stream's base level, the lowest point to which the stream can erode. Sea…
