River Meanders, Tributary Junctions, and Antecedent Morphology
Tributaries to meandering rivers rarely join the river on the interior of bends. The limited drainage area on bend interiors explains why tributaries seldom form there, but not why existing tributaries are redirected as meanders develop. Other relevant factors include flow dynamics at junctions, run...
