The soil brought down by the river is called "alluvium." It consists of sediments such as sand, silt, and clay that are deposited along the river's banks and floodplains.
Weathering and erosion weaken the outer banks of a river, causing them to erode more quickly than the inner banks. This leads to a gradual sideways shift in the direction of the river flow, creating meanders. Over time, the continued erosion and deposition processes along the bends of the river further accentuate its meandering shape.
Inland port cities often grew along rivers, such as the Mississippi River in the United States, the Rhine River in Europe, and the Yangtze River in China. These rivers provided a natural transportation route allowing goods to be easily moved between inland areas and coastal regions.
