Where is a meander formed in a river?

Answer 1

Meanders (plural) are formed when a river enters a flat plain. as it slows down. more sediment is dropped at the slow inner edge of a bend, and the faster water at the edge of a bend undermines the bank. Thus the river bends more. eventually the narrow bit at the neck breaks through creating an oxbow lake.

Answer 2

Meander formation

Water flows faster on the outer curve of the bend of a river and slower on the inner curve so the outer bank gets eroded, but silt is deposited at the inner bank. Over time as the outer bank wears and the inner one grows, a meander forms. As the process continues, the meander becomes more loopy.

If you doing this for work/school I suggest you use diagrams/pictures to show each stage.

Answer 3

Meanders are usually formed in the middle and lower courses on a river. They are formed by the change in the height of the land. The water is pulled by gravity and so will always take a downhill route.

Answer 4

As the river runs, it erodes on the outside and deposits on the inside. It makes the meander bigger.

Answer 5

A meander is formed when the moving water in a river erodes the outer banks and widens its valley creating a meander.

Answer 6

A meander in general is a bend in a sinuous watercourse

Answer 7

meader are hit by rock or lova
