7. ANSWER
In the upper course vertical erosion dominates, while in the middle
course lateral erosion is dominant. Little erosion occurs in the lower
course, except on the outside of meander bends.
10. IMPORTANT
An important control on the cross profile is the relationship between
the rate of movement of material down the valley sides and the rate at
which this is eroded and removed. When describing a cross profile,
refer to the steepness of the valley sides and the width of the floor;
quote figures to convey a sense of scale.
