Meandering streams have a sinuous flow pattern with curves and bends, while meandering valleys have a gently sloping, winding shape. Meandering streams often erode the outer banks and deposit sediment on the inner banks, creating point bars. Both streams and valleys develop distinct cutbanks and point bars as water moves along the meandering path.
What are the features that characterize wide streams and valleys?
Wide streams and valleys typically have a large water flow capacity, which can accommodate high volumes of water. They often have gently sloping sides and bottoms, creating a broad and open landscape. Wide streams and valleys can also support a diverse range of plant and animal species due to the availability of space and resources.
