A fast-moving river will erode the land faster.
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
If a rivers slope decreases, its ability to erode land under it decreases too. The slope determines the rivers velocity. The steeper the slope, the higher the velocity, the more erosion.
rocks would erode and eventually create more soil. otherwise who cares
Water would move through sand more rapidly than silt, but that does not mean sand would erode more rapidly than silt. In fact, the opposite is true. Erosion occurs when water runs along the surface of the land. If it infiltrates downward into the soil, it does not create runoff.

A river with more meanders has had more chance to erode at the bank, and is therefore likely to be much older then a straight river. (unless ox-bow lakes are present)
A fast moving river will. This is true because in a fast moving river more sediment is picked up from theedges of the stream and the bed making the riverwider and deeper. Also more rocks will be picked up eroding the other rocks.In a slow moving river less sediment will be picked up, and the river will erode slower.Therefor the river will also pick up less rocks and or smaller rocksthat wont erode the river as fast.
A youthful stream is swift flowing, has sharper contours and the banks would be steep, whereas a mature stream is more mellowed in pace, is slow flowing, and is wider than the river upstream. The banks wouls be more silted and have smaller gravel, which is not the case of the youthful stream.
Mature river is a river with a gradient that is less steep than those of youthful rivers and flows more slowly than youthful rivers. A mature river is fed by many tributaries and has more discharge than a youthful river. Its channels erode wider rather than deeper. An example being the Mississippi River. Youthful river is a river with a steep gradient that has very few tributaries and flows quickly. Its channels erode deeper rather than wider. An example being the Ebro River.

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.
an older river deposits more sediment.
If a rivers slope decreases, its ability to erode land under it decreases too. The slope determines the rivers velocity. The steeper the slope, the higher the velocity, the more erosion.
