Are you talking about meanders? when overtime laterally erode the banks (undermine) due to the hydrolic fore of the water. Then then turn to ox-bow lakes due to deposition along the curve and erosion coming into the curve. (bypasses the curve; cuts straight through)

A curve in a stream channel?
this is called a meandering stream.
Where can meanders be found?
Meanders can be found in a river or stream. A meander is a curve or bend. It is also a winding path.
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.
What direction does the Earths rotation make the prevailing winds curve?
The Earth's rotation affects all winds, prevailing or otherwise. In the northern hemisphere the Earth's rotation cause wind to curve to the right. It curves winds to the left in the southern hemisphere.
Suppose you heated frozen alcohol instead of ice how would the heating curve for alcohol be similar to and different from the heating curve for water?
AnswerAlcohol freezes at -114. i would imagine that the heating curve would be similar to the differences in freezing curve..
What is a bend or curve in a stream channel?
stream channel
A curve in a stream channel?
this is called a meandering stream.
Does a mature stream causes erosion since it moves very slowly?
A mature stream causes more erosion than a young stream, due to the pure fact that theres more curve in a mature stream causing the sediments to shift more frequently.
Which side of the stream is shallower the inside curve or outside?
Since the outside curve has a higher velocity, it has more erosion meaning the inside curve has a slower velocity more deposition causing it to be shallower. The outside curve is deep.
A curve in a river formed by erosion?
Meander
What portion of the meander has the most erosion?
the middle curve
Which will not cause the supply curve to shift?
A change in price level would cause movement along the demand curve, but would not cause the curve itself to shift.
What is A curve in a river is called?
A meander is a curve or bend in a stream or river.
Where is deposition dominant in a stream?
On the inner curve of a meander, where the velocity of the water is the slowest.
What curve formed when water erodes side of a stream?
meander (pronounced mee yan der)
When rounding a curve a car is usually drawn toward the inside of the curve What is the cause of this?
Centripetal force
What will cause a movement along a demand curve or along a supply curve?
If the world tilts to the left...
