What is the outside of a river bend called?
Because the inside of the meander has deposited rocks and rubble building it up and making the water shallower whereas the outside of ther meander is being eroded by fast moving water.
Is the inside bend of a meander called a river cliff?
The river cliff is the outside of a meander in a river. This is due to erosion from fast flowing water. Deposition occurs on the inside and the inside bend is called the SLIP-OFF SLOPE
How does the flow of water change where a river bends?
The speed of water at a river bend flows much faster and deeper on the outside of the bend. On the inside of the bend the velocity is much slower and shallower.
A steep undercut area on the outside of a river bend?
As the river flows around the outside of the bend, it accelerates just like when a car goes around a bend. The water, like a car, is pulled toward the outside of the bend through centripetal force (which is why road bends are often banked). The same thing happens to the water surface. It actually rises around the outside of the bend. This higher elevation of the water surface means that the water on the outside of the bend is slightly deeper than the inside. Since water always tries to seek a level surface, the water on the outside of the bend actually flows downward, along the bottom and comes back up on the inside of the bend. This secondary current pushes material from the outside of the bend back up on the inside of the bend - and that's where sand bars come from. So the combination of accelerated flow around the outside combined with the secondary current moving downward erodes the outside of the river bend.
What evaporates faster water inside or water outside?
Water outside evaporate faster.
What Most rivers curve or meander. Water travels more slowly on the outside of the curve and more quickly on the inside of the curve Which statement is true?
A river's current slow down and tend to meander across a flat valley floor. The river's current is faster on the outside of the bend, and slower on the inside.
What evaporates faster in fall water inside or outside?
Inside!!

Why does sediment erode on the outside curve of a stream?
Rivers "carry" their sediment load only as long as the velocity of the water remains high enough to create sufficient turbulence to keep the particles "stirred up". Once a river loses its velocity and the stirring effect of the turbulence subsides the sediment load can no longer remain suspended in the water. At this point gravity takes over and the river begins to "drop" its sediments in a process named deposition.Now a river going around a curve is like two tires at each end of an axle going around a curve. The tire on the outside of the curve has to move faster than the tire on the inside of the curve since it has a longer radius of travel. So too the water in the river moves faster at the outside of the curve than the water inside the curve. Between the two different water velocities the deposition is going to occur on the inside curve of the river where the water loses its velocity.Conversely, the opposite of deposition which is erosion will take place at the outside of the curve in the river.
Does water evaporate faster inside or outside or in the frigerator?
Water is evaporated faster outside a refrigerator.
What type of water does the embley river have inside it?
fresh water
How do they Baptist someone in a Babtist church?
They baptize a believer by immersion in a tank of water if it's inside the church if it's outside it could be a river, lake ,or pond.
