Curves in canyons formed by a downcutting stream are known as meanders. These curves develop as the stream erodes the outer banks of the channel, creating a sinuous path as it flows over time. The process is influenced by factors such as water velocity, sediment load, and the geology of the canyon walls. As the stream continues to cut down and erode, meanders can become more pronounced, leading to the characteristic shapes seen in many canyon landscapes.
Canyons are formed by stream down-cutting, usually in arid areas, where the rate of down-cutting is greater than the rate of weathering, and where the stream or river receives water from outside the area. Rivers and streams
Narrow valley.
meanders
A meandering stream is a type of stream with many curves in its path. These curves are caused by erosion and deposition processes along the stream's course, resulting in a winding and zigzagging flow pattern. Meandering streams are common in flat or gently sloping landscapes.
canyons and vallys
A stream of water cutting through land is a river.
Erosionally formed features include valleys, stream and river channels, lake beds, sand dunes, all glacially formed features such as eskers and moraines, seaside cliffs and beaches, canyons, mesas, spires, buttes, caves, and deltas, among others.
A deep valley with high steep slopes that often has a stream running through it is called a canyon. Canyons are typically formed by the erosion of water over time, creating a distinctive geological feature.
River valleys are formed by stream erosion.

A Misfit Stream is formed when water melted from the mountains flow into a U-shaped valley. Then because the stream is too small for the valley it is then called a misfit valley.
A wide stream valley has gently sloping sides and a broad, flat floor due to erosion over time by a large volume of water. In contrast, a narrow stream valley has steep, V-shaped sides and a narrow floor formed by fast-flowing water cutting through the landscape.
