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. === ===
What else can I help you with?
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.
What is a meander in a river?
A meander in a river is a bend or curve that forms when the river flows in a zigzag pattern. Meanders occur as water erodes the outer bank of a bend and deposits sediment on the inner bank, causing the river to gradually change its course over time. They are a common feature in rivers with low energy and gentle slopes.
A meander generally characterizes which type of stream steep stream a young stream a narrow stream or a mature stream?
A mature stream.
When a river or stream changes direction what is created?
meander
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.
Looping bend in the path of low gradient stream?
Meander.
What is the path that a stream follows called?
It's meander.
What is A curve in a river is called?
A meander is a curve or bend in a stream or river.
What is the process that takes place at the inside of a stream mender?
i think you mean stream meander. the process is deposition
Why doesn't a stream meander in mountains?
A stream flowing down a mountain is moving to fast to form meanders.
What is a looplike sweeping bend in a stream called?
lakes &rivers
When water spills over the sides of a stream bank it is called?
its a meander =)
What is a bend in a river or stream where the water changes direction called?
a meander
