Meander is the name of a river loop in a sequence of other river loops, as it forms naturally in unpaved sections of flowing water with a very low bed slope and simultaneously transported, fine-grained debris. Corresponding river sections are called meandering rivers. Over time, meanders spread out laterally due to erosion on the outside of the curve (impact slope) and sedimentation on the inside of the curve (sliding slope) until there is a breakthrough at the ends of the loop. Then the meander becomes an oxbow lake and finally silts up.
