Answer 2

meander

Step-by-step explanation:

A meander is the the “winding” shape that a river can take. It is is one of a series of regular sinuous curves, bends, loops, turns, or windings in the channel of a river, stream, or other watercourse(wikipedia).

A meander is formed when water in the river erodes the banks just outside its channel. The water then deposits some sediments inside the channel.
