How is a meander created?
In a river the outside bend flows faster than the inside bend. A river carries objects (rocks, boulders, small grains of sand etc..) and the inside bend drops its load because it does not have enough energy to carry it any further. With the outside bend flowing so fast it erodes (wears away) the bank pushing it backwards creating an okbow lake. When the inside bend keeps dropping its load all of the time it looks like the whole meander has moved to the side!
Where is a meander formed in a river?
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.
What is a winding looping curve in the river on flat ground?
