Meanders

• What is a meander?

  A winding curve or bend in a river or stream.
• Firstly, the river erodes the outside bends through hydraulic action, abrasion and attrition
• Secondly, water moves slowly on the inside of the bend and the river deposits some load, forming a gently sloping river beach.
• Thirdly, erosion continues on the inside of the river, creating a curve
• Lastly, this forms a meander
• What landform is this?
