A meandering stream is a type of stream with many curves in its path. These curves are caused by erosion and deposition processes along the stream's course, resulting in a winding and zigzagging flow pattern. Meandering streams are common in flat or gently sloping landscapes.
They are formed by deposition of sediments from rivers and streams.
What information
From deposition by springs or streams saturated with calcium carbonate.

Deposition occurs on the point bar in a meandering stream. The point bar is located in the inside of the bend of a meander where the current is the slowest. The slower current allows for deposition.
Deposition
Erosion occurs in meanders and fast flowing parts of the river. Deposition occurs when the flow is too slow to carry the particles so drops the dirt and soil it is carrying. Deposition also occurs on the inside of a meander, which is why the meander stays the same width, but moves about.
Deposition occurs when materials drop out of wind or water, resulting in the accumulation of sediment. Erosion, on the other hand, involves the removal of sediment or soil from one location to another by wind or water.
When deposition stops or erosion occurs, landforms such as canyons, cliffs, valleys, or deltas can be created. Erosion removes the weathered material, while deposition adds it to a new location, shaping the landscape in various ways.
Stream deposition occurs when a flowing stream loses energy, causing it to slow down and deposit sediment that it was previously carrying. This commonly occurs when the stream enters a flatter area, like a floodplain or a lake. As the stream's velocity decreases, it can no longer transport sediment, leading to deposition.
In a streambed, the water flow slows down on the inner curve of the curve due to centrifugal force, causing sediment to settle out and deposit in that area. This leads to the formation of point bars or inner banks along the curve of the streambed.
