How rivers are formed?
Rivers are kept full by thawing snow in higher elevations that run downhill for centuries along the same path....as time goes by, the river digs deeper and deeper into the ground. There are actually lots of rivers in the deserts, they are all just covered up by sand and underground.---When rain falls, some of it sinks into the ground, but not of it. The water that flows over land is called surface runoffor overland flow. Overland flows remove soil and rock, and carve out channels and streams. These channels eventually deepen into rivers.
Why do meandering rivers occur in humid areas?
Meandering characterized a river's course when its flow begins to slow. Meanders form when slight irregularities in the flow cause the moving water to be directed towards a bank. This bank then erodes and at this point the river gets wider and the flow slows causing sediment to be deposited against the opposite bank. Eventually the process causes a large bend in the river and the river develops meanders.
Since the existence of humans the amount of sediments carried by rivers has .?
It has remained unchanged for most of the time. It is only in recent years that the diversion of water from rivers has changed river flows. In general the flow has reduced so that sedimentation happens further upstream.
