the flow of the river.
A meander is a bend in the coarse of the water flow in a river. There is not a river recorded with the most meanders, although rivers with the most meanders are located in Africa.
A river's flow tends to slow down on reaching a flat valley floor. It is here that the river may meander, creating bends and ox-bow lakes.

The side of a channel is referred to as a "bank." It is the raised edges that contain and direct the flow of water within the channel.
The side of a meander that it flows faster is in the clean water than in the dirty water
Meanders are twists and turns in a river flow. The Mississippi River has meanders because of the way the water eroded the edge of the land.
A meander is described to as a river or stream with eroded banks such that it no longer flows in a relatively straight path, but instead is a winding path.

Because the inside of the meander has deposited rocks and rubble building it up and making the water shallower whereas the outside of ther meander is being eroded by fast moving water.
A meander is primarily created by erosion along the outer bank of a river bend and deposition along the inner bank. The flow of the water in a river directs erosional forces towards the outer bank, causing it to erode and form a bend in the course of the river.
It flows East Southeast with an occasional meander.
