scour(ing)


Explanation:
Tidal scour, erosion of earth via tidal forces
http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socavación

The Coriolis rig has been shown to provide a convenient and reproducible technique for scouring erosion evaluation.
http://www.asminternational.org/portal/site/csc/Details/?vgn...

This is distinguished from changes on the bed of the watercourse, which is referred to as scour.
