Meanders

The diagram below shows a portion of a stream. The sand bar formed as a direct result of 

• erosion due to a decrease in stream velocity 
• erosion due to an increase in stream velocity
• deposition due to a decrease in stream velocity
• deposition due to an increase in stream velocity 

The feature left behind when a river cuts through a meander is called an

• Oxbow lake
• Horseshoe lake

At which location is the greatest amount of sediment most likely being deposited?

• A
• B
• C
• D

Trees growing on the edge of a river's meander are most likely to fall into the river due to 

• deposition on the inside of the meander
• deposition on the outside of the meander
• erosion on the inside of the meander
• erosion on the outside of the meander

The diagram below shows a section of a meander in a stream. The arrow shows the direction of stream flow. The stream bank on the outside of this meander is steeper than than the stream bank on the inside of this meander because the water on the outside of the meander is moving

• Slower, causing deposition
• Faster, causing deposition
• Slower, causing erosion
• Faster, causing erosion
