Why can Meandering happen?

Autor: eric_galvao



Respuesta:

-When the River goes around a Bend, the Majority of the Water is pushed into the Outside. This increases Speed, and Erosion rates [Hydraulic Action and Abrasion] -The Outer Bend erodes, and Undercuts the bank to make a River Cliff -So the Outside side Erodes. -The Water on the Inner Bend is more Slower, which results into Deposition taking place. Gentle slope of Sand and Shingle is Present -This build up of the Sediment can be named as a Slip-off Slope, or a River Beach -So the Inside Deposits -Those 2 sides Bend Left or Right. -And also, the Fastest Current 'Bounces' meaning that it won't bend in 1 direction forever.
