Due to erosion on the outside of a bend and deposition on the inside, the shape of a meander changes over time. This is why you often see sand bars and beaches on the inside of the curve. Why is this? Water is pushed to the outside of a bend, and erodes the curve further, while water on the inside is slower and deposits sediment. Once a meander starts, it often becomes more and more exaggerated. As a river makes its way through an area that is relatively flat, it often develops bends as it erodes its way through the path of least resistance. A meander is when water flows in a curvy, bendy path, like a snake.
