Streams meander due to a combination of factors: 1) water flow velocity, which varies across the stream's width, causing erosion on the outer banks and deposition on the inner banks; 2) sediment load, where the type and amount of sediment influence the stream's ability to carve its banks and create bends; and 3) the underlying topography and geology, which can direct the flow and contribute to the development of curves as the stream seeks a balance between energy and sediment transport.
