What is meant by the word “MEANDER”?

  • (A) A barren area
  • (B) A bend/curve in a river
  • (C) A grassy area
  • (D) A frozen lake
The term “meander” describes a winding curve or bend, particularly in a river's path. Water flows in a twisting, looping pattern because of erosion and deposition along the banks. Over time, rivers form these curves as faster currents wear down the outer banks while slower currents deposit sediments on the inner sides. This creates the typical bends that can change gradually and are common in mature river systems.
