What else can I help you with?
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 happens on the inside curve of a meander?
deposition
What place in a meander does erosion and deposition take place?
Erosion primarily occurs on the outside curve (cutbank) of a meander, where the water flow is faster and more forceful. Deposition occurs on the inside curve (point bar) of the meander, where the water flow is slower, allowing sediment to be deposited.
Where is the flow fastest in a meander?
The water usually flows fastest on the outside of the bend (meander) and flows the slowest on th einside of the bend.
What is A curve in a river is called?
A meander is a curve or bend in a stream or river.
Which side of the stream is shallower the inside curve or outside?
Since the outside curve has a higher velocity, it has more erosion meaning the inside curve has a slower velocity more deposition causing it to be shallower. The outside curve is deep.
A curve or loop in a river?
the answer is meander
What is a curve that is higher on the outside than it is on the inside called?
A banked curve.
A curve in a river formed by erosion?
Meander
What is the fastest section of a meander?
The outer curve.
What are some Examples of a meander?
a meander is a sharp turn in a river. also the meander would of been eroded to make a sharp curve :)
Loop like curve in a river or stream?
A curve in a mature or old age river is called a meander and forms when the slightest curve forms and starts to grow larger. This is because on the inside of a curve water moves slower and deposits sediment, and on the outside the exact opposite happpens when faster moving water pounds against the curve making it bigger. In an old age stream when the meanders get big enough the section of river that's curved can actually be cut-off during a flood because water always wants to take the quicker path. The lake that forms when this happens is called and ox-bow lake. It is called this beacue the ox-bow was put on oxen and used to plow fields around the time this kind of lake was named and they had simmilar shapes.
