a meander
You can have a slip off slope on the inside of a meander bend or a river cliff on the outside of a meander. Or in general you can just call it the river bank
because the river has a shorted way to go around the bend and the current is faster and has less far to go.
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!
at the outside of the bend
A river's current slow down and tend to meander across a flat valley floor. The river's current is faster on the outside of the bend, and slower on the inside.
The river cliff is the outside of a meander in a river. This is due to erosion from fast flowing water. Deposition occurs on the inside and the inside bend is called the SLIP-OFF SLOPE
River bends are called 'esses' or 'meanders'
Bends in a river are called meanders.
Bends in a river are called meanders
On the inside of a bend
You can have a slip off slope on the inside of a meander bend or a river cliff on the outside of a meander. Or in general you can just call it the river bank
A bend in a river is called a meander -source- Secondary Education
It is called South Bend because it is at the 'south bend' of the st. Joe River.
The speed of water at a river bend flows much faster and deeper on the outside of the bend. On the inside of the bend the velocity is much slower and shallower.
