🔍 Key Concepts

• Current speed distribution in a river channel • How centrifugal force and flow affect the outside vs. inside of river bends • Relationship between channel width and current speed

💭 Think About

• Think about where a river current can flow the most freely with the least friction from the banks and bottom. • When a river bends, which side (inside or outside) do you think the faster water will naturally favor, and how does that affect erosion and depth? • If you were to widen a hose nozzle, does the water usually speed up or slow down? Apply the same idea to a river channel.

✅ Before You Answer

• Compare the outside vs. inside of a bend: which side is usually deeper due to erosion? • Recall that water generally moves fastest where it is least obstructed, and slowest where it meets the most friction. • Think about whether a wider cross‑section usually leads to faster or slower current, all else being equal.
