A River Shapes the Land

Also called

river erosion · Earth

What to look for

  • Flowing water can pick up and carry sediment.
  • A meander often erodes faster along its outer bank.
  • Sediment can settle along a slower inner bend.

Try this

Compare the sandy inner bends with the rocky outer banks.
