Meanders
- a large bend in a river
- transportation: the movement of eroded material to somewhere else
- Erosion: the wearing away of rock by rivers
- flood plain: the flat area alongside the river often flooded
- Alluvium: the fine material left behind after a flood
- activity on the outside bend of the meander: the channel
is deepened, erosion takes place, fastest flow is on the
outside of the bend and the bank is worn away and a river
cliff develops.
- activity on the inside bend of the meander: deposition
takes place, the channel is shallow, slowest flow is on
the inside of the bend and a small beach of material
builds up
