Question

Explain formation of meanders . ( 3 marks question class 11 answer according to it pls )

Answer 1

A meander forms when moving water in a stream erodes the outer banks and widens its valley, and the inner part of the river has less energy and deposits silt. A stream of any volume may assume a meandering course, alternately eroding sediments from the outside of a bend and depositing them on the inside.
