A feature formed on the side of a meander is called a "point bar." Point bars are sediment deposits that accumulate on the inside bend of a meander where the water flow is slower, allowing sediments to settle. Over time, these formations can grow and contribute to the river's overall morphology. Conversely, the outer bank of the meander often experiences erosion due to faster water flow, creating a steep bank known as a "cut bank."
What else can I help you with?
What curve formed when water erodes side of a stream?
meander (pronounced mee yan der)
Why settlement grow in meander bends?
Beacuse inside the Meander, there is no current where on the other side there is beacuse the water is pushed onto it. It's how Ox-Bow lakes are formed.
What type of lake formed when a large meander was by passed?
its an oxbow lake formed when the meander is cut off from the main river
A curve in a river formed by erosion?
Meander
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.
What is crescent shaped lake formed by river meander?
barchant
When a river cuts of a meander and traps the remaining water the resulting feature is what?
Slough
Which feature is created by the wearing down of soil and bedrock of a river or stream?
meander
Does meander help interlocking spurs form?
No. Meanders are features of the lower and middle course of a river, whereas interlocking spurs are features of the upper course, so the two do not cross. The river may weave slightly, but this is not a meander. It's more like the teeth of a zip, less curved then a meander. A meander is more a feature of deposition, and interlocking spurs are an erosional feature. But no. Meanders do not help interlocking spurs form.
Does the river Thames have a meander?
Yes, the River Thames meanders along most of it's length.A meander is a naturally formed bend in the river.Most rivers will meander, unless man builds a defense such as a wall to stop meandering.
Type of lake formed when a large meander is by passed?
ox-bow lake
What is A depositional feature that forms where a stream enters a lake or ocean?
A meander. <-------NovaNet wrong your answer miss or mister novanet ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The absolutely best answer is "a delta " cause a delta is a n accumulation of sediment formed where a stream enters a lake or ocean....:-)hismejohn
