Difference between Meander and Point bar

Meander vs. Point bar

A meander is one of a series of regular sinuous curves, bends, loops, turns, or windings in the channel of a river, stream, or other watercourse. A point bar is a depositional feature made of alluvium that accumulates on the inside bend of streams and rivers below the slip-off slope.

Similarities between Meander and Point bar

Meander and Point bar have 9 things in common (in Unionpedia): Angular momentum, Bar (river morphology), Boundary layer, Cut bank, Helicoidal flow, Oxbow lake, River, Stream, Vortex.

Angular momentum

In physics, angular momentum (rarely, moment of momentum or rotational momentum) is the rotational equivalent of linear momentum.

Bar (river morphology)

A bar in a river is an elevated region of sediment (such as sand or gravel) that has been deposited by the flow.

Boundary layer

In physics and fluid mechanics, a boundary layer is an important concept and refers to the layer of fluid in the immediate vicinity of a bounding surface where the effects of viscosity are significant.

Cut bank

A cut bank, also known as a river cliff or river-cut cliff, is the outside bank of a water channel (stream), which is continually undergoing erosion.

Helicoidal flow

Helicoidal flow is the cork-screw-like flow of water in a meander.

Oxbow lake

An oxbow lake is a U-shaped lake that forms when a wide meander from the main stem of a river is cut off, creating a free-standing body of water.

River

A river is a natural flowing watercourse, usually freshwater, flowing towards an ocean, sea, lake or another river.

Stream

A stream is a body of water with surface water flowing within the bed and banks of a channel.

Vortex

In fluid dynamics, a vortex (plural vortices/vortexes) is a region in a fluid in which the flow revolves around an axis line, which may be straight or curved.
