At its lowwer course, during the matured stage, the rivers velocity and erosive power greatly reduces, because now it flows through a relatively wide/broad and shallow course. Deposition of sediments occurs as the river moves on progressively, this materials left along interfers with its normal flow, resulting in a winding courseway, forming meanders.
