Meanders and Oxbow Lakes

The video tutorial explains the dynamics of river flow, focusing on how rivers are fed by smaller streams, leading to increased volume and reduced friction. It covers the processes of lateral erosion and fluvial transportation, detailing four main mechanisms: attraction, saltation, suspension, and solution. The formation of river bends, meanders, and oxbow lakes is discussed, highlighting how erosion and deposition shape these features. The tutorial concludes with the river's journey to the sea.

What happens to the river's flow and energy as it passes around a bend?

How does the formation of an oxbow lake occur after heavy rain or flooding?
