A stream will be tend to be eroded most where the water current is the swiftest and the surrounding ground the softest. Materials carried by the water will also affect erosion. Such materials include ice, sand, and pebbles
The current is swifter on the outside of a river bend. On the inside of a river bend the current may slow and erosion materials may be left in the river bed.

How does a glacier-eroded valley differ from a stream-eroded valley?
A glacier-eroded valley will typically have a U-shape with steep sides and a flat bottom, while a stream-eroded valley usually has a V-shape with a narrow channel and wider floodplain. Glacier-eroded valleys are often much larger in scale and can be sculpted by the movement of thick ice over long periods of time, whereas stream-eroded valleys are shaped by the gradual erosion caused by flowing water.
What is the shape of a valley that is eroded by a stream and a glacier?
A stream shaped valley is usually 'V' shaped. A glacier formed valley is usually 'U' shaped.
A meander is best describe as a?
A meander is described to as a river or stream with eroded banks such that it no longer flows in a relatively straight path, but instead is a winding path.
Are there any rivers that deposit and eroded sediments?
Most rivers have eroded and Deposited sediment.
What is a wash?
1. The dry bed of a stream 2. Waste water 3. The erosion of sediment or sediment that has been eroded
A sentence for erode?
The constant stream of water slowly eroded the rocks down.
When is a stream likely to meander?
All streams meander to some extent. The most likely time is when flow is consistent and gradient is uniform. See Braided Stream. When a stream has eroded the steep valleys to genteler slopes, the stream flows more slowly.Now water in the stream erodes along the sides of the stream bed rather than along the stream bottom. === ===
Is a stream a result of erosion or deposition?
A stream, which flows in a channel, is formed as a result of erosion as the channel itself must be formed from erosion. Deposition is not common here, but there is a lot of loose material in the stream which is eroded over time, which has been put there through erosion. The material is first eroded further, then transported, and will ultimately be deposited at the mouth.
Does the sphinx of Giza have a beard?
It did but was most likely eroded off
What is stream deposition?
A stream's sediment load is typically deposited, eroded, and redeposited many times in a stream channel, especially during climatic variations such as flooding. Sediments are deposited throughout the length of the stream as bars or floodplain deposits. At the mouth of the stream, the sediments are usually deposited in alluvial fans or deltas, which represent a lower-energy, more "permanent" depositional environment that is less susceptible to changes in the stream flow. i got this from clift notes
What affects stream erosion?
Stream erosion can be influenced by factors such as the volume and speed of water flow, gradient of the stream channel, presence of sediment or boulders, vegetation along the banks, and geology of the area. Human activities such as deforestation, urbanization, and construction of dams or levees can also significantly impact stream erosion.
How does a river or stream flow at the mouth?
The water continues to go downhill and spreads out creating a delta, a series of islands made of eroded material droped off by the river.
