The water slows while running through a meander - allowing silt to separate ot and build up along the banks and river bed.
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.
yes... it does.
it is called deposition
deposition
Both processes are needed to create a meander, they work together.
on the bend
On the inner curve of a meander, where the velocity of the water is the slowest.

the 4 stages of river deposition are: 1. levees and meander 2. deltas 3.floodplain 4.oxbows
canyon,meander,valley,and tributaries
when a part of a river has been through erosion and in some cases a meander has formed
On the outer bank (at the tip of the meander)
