What can be done to prevent further damage due to Weathering and Erosion?
One method is to plant deep rooted plants or to entrench mats of braided straw along riverbanks so the soil does not wash away. The idea is to bind the soil together so it does not erode by wind, water, or other weather.
How do meanders form?
Meander formation Water flows faster on the outer curve of the bend of a river and slower on the inner curve so the outer bank gets eroded, but silt is deposited at the inner bank. Over time as the outer bank wears and the inner one grows, a meander forms. As the process continues, the meander becomes more loopy. If you doing this for work/school I suggest you use diagrams/pictures to show each stage.
Ice erodes rock and deposits sediments to form?

What are the stream channel and the stream banks?
when the river is carrying vast amounts of erdoded material as bedload. as water levels fall and the energy decreases the river drops its coursest material. the rapid deposition of its coursest material begins to block the main channel causing the river to divide into smaller channels that seek to find the way through the obsructing channel
