Meander Growth Patterns 

Meander Growth Patterns
Description: How meanders grow laterally through erosion (outside bend) and sediment deposition (inside bend, point bar). When the loops get too large and consume too much energy (friction), the river will eventually find a less energetically "taxing" shortcut, and a part of the old channel will be abandoned and becomes an oxbow lake.
