If the river is young it is steep in places and doesn't meander (curve). A mature river isn't so steep and it is starting to form meanders; but be careful because old rivers are completely flat and do have meanders.

Youthful [young] river is a river with a steep gradient that has very few tributaries and flows quickly. Its channels erode deeper rather than wider. Old river is a river with a low gradient and low erosive energy. Old rivers are characterized by flood plains.
