when a river rounds a bend, its velocity increases on the outside of the curve. Its velocity slows on the inside part of the curve, so sediments tend to be deposited there.Discharge and velocity increase during a flood, then decrease as flood waters subside.

Because each side has a different type of thing

∙ 15y agoThe major factor is that it flows more slowly on the inside of the bend where, due to decreased velocity, it deposits sediment. This sediment is also collected from the outside of the bend. Therefore the river is actually eroding the outside and banking-up the inside.

with their legs ok but they walk with their legs bending forward and back, which is different from other crabs as other crabs bend side to side, hope that helps

When does a river devlop meanders?
As the river winds from side to side, it tends to erode the outer bank and deposit sediment on the inner bank of the bend. Over time, the meander becomes more and more curved.

A large bend in a river?
Known as an ox-bow bend or a horseshoe bend. The river will naturally have more water in one side than the other. Caused by bed shape or bed friction. Now, the water close to the bed is travelling slowest, because of turbulence due to bed roughness. Water above this is travelling faster for it is sitting on moving water, and water above this is travelling even faster again. Thus the erosion power of the water will erode this bank, and typically, the other bank will be a gently shelving beach. This process continues, creating a bend in the river. This bend will become more and more exaggerated until it forms an ox-bow. Eventually the ox-bow will cut through the river bank, to leave a stranded shape behind. Depends upon the gradient (low is better) and the aggregate size (small is better).

General Definition.A meander in general is a bend in a sinuous watercourse. A meander is formed when the moving water in a river erodes the outer banks and widens its valley.A meander is a bend in the river, it is usually in the lower and middle course of the river where the water slides from one side of the river to the next, this erodes one side of the river bed and deposites sediment on the other to make a bend. This bend gets bigger as the process happens again and again. After a while the bend looks like a horse shoe and the neck gets so small it opens and no water goes through the bend. After a storm or flood there is enough sediment to separate the river and the meander leaving an ox-bow lake. After years the river gets further away from the ox-bow lake dries up and leaves a scar, and that is the process of an meander and ox-bow lake.Art and architecture.A meander is a decorative border constructed from a continuous line, shaped into a repeated motif. Such a design is also called the Greek fret or Greek key design, although these are modern designations.In mathematics.A meander or closed meander is a self-avoiding closed curve which intersects a line a number of times.Music Album.Meander is Carbon Leaf's first album. It was released in 1995 by the band's own label, Constant Ivy Records.In Greek Mythology.Meander or Maiandros (Μαίανδρος) is a river-god in Greek mythology, patron deity of the Meander river (modern Büyük Menderes River) in Caria, southern Asia Minor (modern Turkey).
