Meandering channels are the second of a simple three part classification by early geomorphologists, as reported by Leopold, Wolman and Miller (1957) and Schumm (1977).

Meandering streams cut a channel into a flood plain and deposit several characteristic sediments. Most notable of these are 1) channel fill sediments left by point bars that are deposited in the slowly moving water on the inside of bends and 2) the overbank deposits.

Because meandering streams are continually eroding on the outer meander bends and depositing sediment along the inner meander bends, meandering stream channels tend to migrate back and forth across their flood plain.

Our transcription: We're not altogether clear why meandering occurs, why it's such a common phenomenon. ... By meandering the amount of work done by a stream in some unit of discharge is more or less constant.

According to scientists, meandering streams occur when a flowing river or stream cannot dig its channel any deeper as if it flows over fairly flat areas. Instead it begins to go to the sides making curves called meanders.

In addition, both braided and meandering streams may easily produce sand bodies with large (>50:1) channel body aspect ratios. A far better basis for discrimination is the recognition of free bars vs. forced bars.
