All streams meander to some extent. The most likely time is when flow is consistent and gradient is uniform. See Braided Stream.

When a stream has eroded the steep valleys to genteler slopes, the stream flows more slowly.Now water in the stream erodes along the sides of the stream bed rather than along the stream bottom. === ===

Where is deposition dominant in a stream?

Deposition is dominant in areas of a stream where the flow rate decreases, such as at the inner bends of a meander or near the mouth of the stream where it enters a larger body of water. In these locations, the stream has less energy to transport sediment, leading to deposition of the sediment it is carrying.


When is a stream most likely to deposit the rock and soil that its carrying?

A stream is most likely to deposit the rock and soil it is carrying when its velocity decreases, such as in a meander or where the gradient lessens. This allows the stream to no longer have enough energy to transport the sediment, leading to deposition.


What is the inside bend of a river called?

The inside bend of a river is called a "meander." Meanders occur as a result of erosion and sediment deposition along the riverbank, creating a curving or winding pattern in the waterway.


How does Earth's rotation affect the direction of the jet streams?

Earth's rotation, known as the Coriolis effect, influences the direction of the jet stream by causing it to meander from west to east in the upper atmosphere. This effect results in the jet stream following a wavy, meandering path as it travels around the globe.


In what direction do winds blow in the. Jet stream?

Winds in the jet stream blow from west to east at high altitudes in the atmosphere. This west-to-east flow is primarily due to the Earth's rotation and temperature differences between the equator and the poles. The jet stream can meander, creating waves that can influence weather patterns, but its general direction remains predominantly west to east.

You find gold nuggets near a meander of a stream in California explain where in the meander area the gold nuggets were most likely found and why gold is deposited at this location?

The river's velocity is much slower on the inside bend of a meander, so any material being transported in the river is deposited.


How many feet are in a meander?

A meander, in general, is a bend in a sinuous watercourse or river. A meander is formed when the moving water in a stream erodes the outer banks and widens its valley.

A meander is best describe as a?

A meander is described to as a river or stream with eroded banks such that it no longer flows in a relatively straight path, but instead is a winding path.

A moraine is a place of deposition for a glacier. It contains unsorted till, or sediment. A meander is a type of stream. It is a long curvey stream that moves slowley. Meaders are found in plain type areas
