meander
How does meander neck cutoff form an oxbow lake?
At times, particularly during floods, a river may form a meander cutoff, a new, shorter channel across the narrow neck od a meander. The old meander may be abandoned as sediment separates out from the new, shorter channel. The cutoff meander becomes a cresent-shaped ox-bow lake. With time, an ox-bow lake may be filled with sediment and vegitation.
How do you say meander in Spanish?
serpentear -> to meander Serpenteo = I meander Serpenteando = meandering Serpenteas = You meander Serpentea = He/ She/ You (formal) meander(s) Serpenteamos = We meander Serpenteáis = You (plural) meander Serpentean= They/ you (plural, formal) meander
How would a meander form?
A mender would form by the push of the water hitting the edge of the river.
The name of the fertile flat land in the lower course that surrounds a meander?
The fertile flat land in the lower course that surrounds a meander is called a floodplain. This flat area is ideal for agriculture due to the rich sediment deposits left by the meandering river.
How is oxbow formed?
An ox bow lake is formed from a meander of a river that was cut off during a flood. Due to erosion, the meander edges of a river can approach quite closely. During normal flow, the water will simply follow the meander. During flood times, however, the water will move more quickly and with more force. This extra force can cause the water to take a shortcut over the land between the close points of the meander. If th eflood is brief, minimal damage will be done to the land, and the river will resume normal flow afterwards. If the flood takes longer, or if there was a huge mass of water, the land between the meander corners will be eroded or swept away. Once the floods subside, if deposition occurs at the points of the original meander, a horseshoe-shaped lake will remain: the remnants of the original meander
Does meander help interlocking spurs form?
No. Meanders are features of the lower and middle course of a river, whereas interlocking spurs are features of the upper course, so the two do not cross. The river may weave slightly, but this is not a meander. It's more like the teeth of a zip, less curved then a meander. A meander is more a feature of deposition, and interlocking spurs are an erosional feature. But no. Meanders do not help interlocking spurs form.

How sediment buildup and erosion in a meander can alter the course of a river?
As a river deposits sediment on the inside of a meander and erodes the outside of the meander, the meander migrates toward the outside edge
