Meanders are sinuous bends in a river’s middle and lower courses. In low flow conditions‚ alternating pools and riffles are formed along the river bed. The river channel is deeper in pools so it has greater energy and more erosive power. Energy is lost as the river flows over a riffle because of friction. These cause the river’s flow to become uneven and maximum flow to be concentrated on one side of the river‚ causing lateral erosion on one side‚ creating an outer concave bank. Deposition takes
