An alternative word may be 'pronounced'. Meanders erode on the outside bank, where the velocity is always greatest. This means that the meander will 'move' (as, at the same time, deposition is happening on the inside) outwards, making it larger and more 'pronounced', and it may form the shape of an Omega, especially when combined with other meanders.
What else can I help you with?
What stage of a river do meanders form?
Meanders typically form in the middle stage of a river, where the flow is slower and the riverbed is relatively flat. In this stage, the water erodes the outer banks and deposits sediment on the inner banks, creating the characteristic winding curves. Over time, these meanders can become more pronounced as the river continues to erode and deposit sediment.
Does water become more extreme by global warming?
yes
Where can a meander can be found?
Meanders are bends in a river or watercourse. Meanders are more likely to be found in slower moving rivers. They often form ox-bows.
How many meanders does the amazon have?

What name is given to large bends in a river channel?

Broad curves in a river where erosion is more prominent are known as?
meanders
Would a river with meanders form in mountain regions or plain reigons?
Meanders are formed in plains regions--or, more exactly, gently sloping, fairly flat areas.
What are Curves in canyons formed by a down cutting stream called?
Curves in canyons formed by a down-cutting stream are called meanders. These meanders develop as the stream erodes the outer banks of the river bend while depositing sediment on the inner banks, creating a sinuous pattern. Over time, meanders can grow more pronounced and may eventually lead to the formation of oxbow lakes if they become isolated from the main flow of the stream.
What is the bend in a river called?

Is a river that have a lot of meanders younger than one that runs straight?
no it is older if it has meanders
How many meanders does the Yangtze have?
The Yangtze River features numerous meanders along its course, particularly in its middle and lower reaches. While the exact number of meanders can vary due to natural changes and erosion, it is estimated that the river has hundreds of significant meanders. These meanders are a result of the river's dynamic flow and the varying topography of the surrounding landscape.
