(14.1) Evolution of a Meandering Stream
People building communities along a riverbank mistakenly assume that the shape of a meandering stream will remain fixed for a long time.

View 1 illustrates the processes of erosion and deposition, and View 2 shows the evolution, in map view, of a meandering stream.
