meander

River velocity is fastest on the

outside

River velocity is slowest on the

inside of the river

Fast velocity =

erosion (outside of river)

Slow velocity

deposition (inside of river)

Less energy =

depositits sediment (deposition)

erosion and deposition cause

The bend to become incresinly big creating a meander

difrences in velocity cause

erosion and sipostition along the bank

Hydralic action

force of moving water traps air focing rocks to break of

abrasion

sediment scrapes against the bank wearing it down

solution

when rocks like limestone and chalk are dissolved in acidic water
