erosion occurs on the outside of rivvers because of the forces of moving water push out or (erode) the landscape, to allow water the flow easier and create more room. the grouynd under the river will not erode because of the gravity and presure of the the water on the ground

What is is the main erosion at the bend of the river?
on the outside of the bend

rocks are there
How does a river obtain its sediment load from outside the channel?
erosion
What type of erosion accours on the outside bend of a river?
bender
What is the main erosion at a bend in a river or meandering channel?
at the outside of the bend
How sediment buildup and erosion in a meander can alter the course of a river?
As a river deposits sediment on the inside of a meander and erodes the outside of the meander, the meander migrates toward the outside edge
Which part of a river experiences erosion?
The outer banks can erode, especially the outside edge of a curve in the river. The bottom can also be down cut.
When a river flows over a flat surface like a plateau erosion may occur true or false?
true
Where does most erosion occur?
along the the bottom of the river along the the bottom of the river
How does a river velocity affect its erosive ability?
A river's velocity is hugely important as erosion on the outside of a meander is solely down to this factor. This is because the river is hurling rocks (abrasion) and air bubbles into the rock face, causing it to break down quickly. The quicker the river, the more abrasion and hydraulic action will cause erosion. This means that the meander moves outwards, and causes further erosion.
