Why is the inside bend of a meander faster flowing than the outside bend?
because the river has a shorted way to go around the bend and the current is faster and has less far to go.
What is the side of a channel called?
The side of a channel is referred to as a "bank." It is the raised edges that contain and direct the flow of water within the channel.
How is a meander created?
In a river the outside bend flows faster than the inside bend. A river carries objects (rocks, boulders, small grains of sand etc..) and the inside bend drops its load because it does not have enough energy to carry it any further. With the outside bend flowing so fast it erodes (wears away) the bank pushing it backwards creating an okbow lake. When the inside bend keeps dropping its load all of the time it looks like the whole meander has moved to the side!
What Most rivers curve or meander. Water travels more slowly on the outside of the curve and more quickly on the inside of the curve Which statement is true?
A river's current slow down and tend to meander across a flat valley floor. The river's current is faster on the outside of the bend, and slower on the inside.
What is the main erosion at a bend in a river or meandering channel?
The main erosion at a bend in a river or meandering channel is known as lateral erosion. This occurs on the outside of the curve where the water flow is fastest, leading to the wearing away of the outer bank through the process of hydraulic action and abrasion.
Is the inside bend of a meander called a river cliff?
The river cliff is the outside of a meander in a river. This is due to erosion from fast flowing water. Deposition occurs on the inside and the inside bend is called the SLIP-OFF SLOPE

How does the flow of water change where a river bends?
