It's difficult to see meander bend in a sentence.:I'm no geologist but a google search finds that the definition of a chute is " A narrow " short cut " across a meander bend, formed in flood as the main stream flow is diverted into a trough between point bars " Channel sinuosity is explained [ http : / / gis4geomorphology.This process can be reproduced, to some extent, using models coupling sedimentary dynamics with flow dynamics. The museum documents the culture of a civilization which existed in a 15-acre ( 60, 703 m 2 ) palisaded village on a meander bend of the Mississippi River in the Wilson, Arkansas area around 1400-1650 social life, religion and politics of that ancient civilization are topics of the exhibition. The field data suggest that meander bends without external forcing such as engineering works tend to evolve from downstream-skewed low-sinuosity bends to upstream-skewed high-sinuosity bends before cutoff.Point bars form on the inside of meander bends in meandering rivers because the shallow flow and low shear stresses there reduce the amount of material that can be carried there.This can be localized, and simply due to small obstacles : examples are scour holes behind boulders, where flow accelerates, and deposition on the inside of meander bends.Sediment mobilised by this erosional avulsion produced a depositionally-forced meander cutoff further downstream by superelevating the bed around the meander bend to nearly the level of the floodplain.When the river encountered flatter ground, it deposited its sediment load resulting in the creation of broad, flat floodplains, alluvial fans, and meander bends through aggradation.An example of a minor avulsion is known as a meander cutoff, where the high-sinuosity meander bend is abandoned in favour of the high-slope.Currently, the Kobuk River in its middle and lower reaches is an braided channels in places, wide migrating meander bends, and oxbow lakes.It is named for the Nodena Site, located east of Wilson, Arkansas in Mississippi County on a meander bend of the Mississippi River.Thus meander bends erode at the outside bend, causing the river to becoming increasingly sinuous ( until cutoff events occur ).
