My hypothesis is‚ “The river Loughton brook becomes wider and deeper due to erosion as it moves downstream”. I will be investigating if erosion takes place downstream in the river. I will investigate if hydraulic action has an impact. I will study about vertical erosion‚ lateral erosion‚ Cross profile and hydraulic
