What is meant by meandering of river and what are its causes how does the increase in the river length due meandering is counteracted in nature?
Meandering of a river refers to the winding, sinuous patterns that rivers create as they flow across landscapes, characterized by curves and bends. This phenomenon is primarily caused by erosion on the outer bank and deposition on the inner bank, where water flow velocity varies. While meandering increases the length of the river, nature counteracts this elongation through processes like sediment deposition and the eventual formation of oxbow lakes, which can redirect the river's flow and restore balance to the system.
What is it called when river goes back and forth?
Because the river want to turn 180 degree.
Was this oxbow lake formed when a curve of meandering river got cut off?
All oxbow lakes are formed when a curve of a meandering river gets cut off. There are oxbow lakes along the Amazon River and also the Mississippi River.
Is the Mississippi River braided or a meandering river?
The Mississippi River is primarily a meandering river, characterized by its sinuous, looping flow. However, it can display some braided characteristics in certain sections where the river channel splits into multiple smaller channels that rejoin downstream.
What does it mean if a river meanders?
a river meandering means that it bends and winds instead of going straight.
What type of stream has wide bends in its channels?

What is the name associated when a river goes back and forth?
