- How is a meander formed on the middle section of a river
- a meander is a bend in the river
- water flows faster on the outside because it has further to go. Abrasion happens where the rocks scrape the river bed so does hydraulic action and attrition
- Erosion and deposition work together at the same time
- rocks are deposited here because the water is not strong enough to carry the rocks, small beaches can be formed
- eventually oxe bow lakes are formed
