- Synopsis
- This page shows four plan images of a river flowing from left to right. There are two images at the top of the page and two images at the bottom of the page. Each image is surrounded by an image border. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. The first image in the top left of the page shows a mature river meandering. Erosion on the outside of the bends increases the meandering. The second image in the top right shows the land has grown in the central loop and the bends at the top are eroding towards each other. The third image in the bottom left shows the river has broken through in the top centre of the image and has formed an island. The river will flow straight across from left to right. There will now be little flow around the new island. The last image in the bottom right shows the river has straightened up and deposition has cut the loop off to form a curved lake in the bottom of the image.
