Meandering characterized a river's course when its flow begins to slow. Meanders form when slight irregularities in the flow cause the moving water to be directed towards a bank. This bank then erodes and at this point the river gets wider and the flow slows causing sediment to be deposited against the opposite bank. Eventually the process causes a large bend in the river and the river develops meanders.

Nuclear fusion can only occur in areas of?
In areas of high temperature and high pressure
Is there is a recognizable pattern to where earthquakes seem to occur?
Earthquakes occur along fault lines and the edges of tectonic plates. These are areas where the earth's plates move against each other. When they slide past each other, earthquakes occur.
Where is earthquakes most likely to occur?
earthquakes are most likely to occur on the rim of tectonic plates
Where do most earthquake occur in California?
Earthquakes can occur almost anywhere in southern California, but are usually located in areas on major fault lines.
Do volcanic eruptions only cause destruction?
No. Volcanic eruptions can build mountains and form new land. Many occur in remote areas where there is not much to destroy.
What is the description of a humid subtropical climate?
The climate of a humid subtropical climate is 'humid and subtropical'. Summers are very warm/hot and humid, and winters are generally short and mild. There is quite a bit of precipitation in a humid subtropical climate.

What is the region of thunderstorms?
Thunderstorms occur when there is warm air that rises. This air must also be damp or moisturized. Therefore, areas that are warm and humid are usually where thunderstorms occur. (These places are most commonly found around the equator)
What geographic feature does industrialization usually occur?
Industrialization usually occurs on flat, open areas, often near a river. These settings are advantageous because they allow ample space for buildings that facilitate industrial processes.
What happens if the cold glass is put in a humid room?
then condensation will occur
Where did the first civilization occur?

Near what geographic feature does urbanization usually occur?
A: Rivers
Where to meandering streams occur?
On the outer bank (at the tip of the meander)
Where can evaporation occur?
ocean rivers lakes
Average rainfall of rivers and streams?
Rivers and streams occur in every climate in the world.
What type of climate causes mechanical weathering to occur at a greater rate?
hot and humid
In which climate would the chemical weathering of limestone occur most rapidly?
Warm and humid
