How does a river velocity affect its erosive ability?
A river's velocity is hugely important as erosion on the outside of a meander is solely down to this factor. This is because the river is hurling rocks (abrasion) and air bubbles into the rock face, causing it to break down quickly. The quicker the river, the more abrasion and hydraulic action will cause erosion. This means that the meander moves outwards, and causes further erosion.
