Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

At the bend of a stream, "erosion" occurs on the outside of a meander bend and "deposition" occurs on the inside of the meander bend.

Explanation:

• The speed of the flowing water escalates with the increase in the distance and downward inclination.

• On the outer side of the meander, the water hits the bend with greater speed owing to the distance available for its maneuver.

• While on the inner side of the meander, the speed of the flowing water is comparatively low owing to the stumbling block offered by the bend.

• Through gradual erosion and deposition, the meander intensifies and gets cut out from the stream to form a separate water body known as 'Oxbow' lake.
