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.

When the inside bend keeps dropping its load all of the time it looks like the whole meander has moved to the side!
