Geography
1 answer:
lara31 [8.8K]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Deposition and erosion

Explanation:

Meanders form as a result of both accumulation and erosion, and they eventually move downstream. The stream bank around the outside of the curve, where stream flow has had the most power compared to less pressure, is eroded and undercut by the impact of the water. This will result in the formation of a river cliff.
