The water usually flows fastest on the outside of the bend (meander) and flows the slowest on th einside of the bend.
serpentear -> to meander Serpenteo = I meander Serpenteando = meandering Serpenteas = You meander Serpentea = He/ She/ You (formal) meander(s) Serpenteamos = We meander Serpenteáis = You (plural) meander Serpentean= They/ you (plural, formal) meander
Meanders are small or large bends in the river found in the middle section and the grand canyon is in america

As a river meander downstream, erosion occurs on the outside exits of each meander and deposition on the inside exit. (Erosion occurs on the outside because this is where the water is flowing fastest and hence has more energy to erode.) An oxbow lake is basically formed when the meander behind erodes faster than the one in front. This then causes the river to break through and creates a straighter segment of channel. The water diverts away from the previous meander and chooses the straighter alternative. The water in the meander has low energy so deposits its load which over time will cause the previous meander to be completely cut off from the main river and will cause an oxbow lake.
As a river deposits sediment on the inside of a meander and erodes the outside of the meander, the meander migrates toward the outside edge
A meander in general is a bend in a sinuous watercourse

(Meander means to follow a tortuous and winding course, named for the River Meander which did just that. )Examples :He was known to meander on foot through the streets of the old city.I suggested we meander along the path then stop and have a coffee somewhere.As the professor got older, he tended to meander through his lectures.
a meander is a sharp turn in a river. also the meander would of been eroded to make a sharp curve :)
