Meander Velocity
Higher velocities on outside of meanders causes erosion (cut bank)
Lower velocities on inside of meanders causes deposition (point bar)

Channel Shape and Roughness
A. Narrow and Deep Less resistance Faster flow
B. Wide and Shallow More resistance Slower flow
C. Rough Streambed More resistance Slower flow

Stream Velocity Controls:
How much and what grainsize of sediment is Eroded and Transported
Where and what grainsize size will be sediment

Erosion and Deposition Transport
E.g., Meandering streams As meanders are
migrating Cutbanks eroding Point bars building
Sediment is moving downstream

Meander Cutoff
How does the gradient change with meandering and meander cutoff?

Graded Streams
Increased velocity and accelerated erosion.
Erosion acts to grade the Longitudinal stream profile to concave-upward curve
