A meander, in general, is a bend in a sinuous watercourse or river. 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. stream of any volume may assume a meandering course, alternately eroding sediments from the outside of a bend and depositing them on the inside. The result is a snaking pattern as the stream meanders back and forth across its down-valley axis. When a meander gets cut off from the main stream, an oxbow lake forms.
Meanders. Meanders occur in the middle valley and are the result of erosion AND deposition processes on a river. In this section of the valley the river erodes laterally and migrates across the valley floor over time, widening the valley.lood plains, Levees and Yazoo streams. Rivers flood on a regular basis. The area over which they flood is known as the floodplain and this often coincides with regions where meanders form. When rivers flood in the middle valley the cover an area of land known as the flood plain.
