Answer :
The meandering stream has one channel that winds through this valley, so the distance when the "stream flows" is greater as the crow flies.
Erosion and deposition are responsible for many landforms. Erosion is the transport of sediments. Flowing water is a very important agent of erosion. Flowing water can erode rocks and soil. Meandering streams occur in areas covered by low elevation and smooth, softer sediments. The stream starts out mostly straight, but over time one of the banks erodes, and as it descends to the opposite bank, it becomes a very winding, serpentine, or meandering stream.
Moving water also picks up and carries particles of soil and rock. The ability to erode is affected by the velocity, or speed, of the water. The size of the eroded particles depends on the velocity of the water.In muddy streams, the highest water velocity is on the outer banks. This leads to more erosion of the outer banks and this part is constantly moving outwards. At the same time, the water velocity is the lowest on the inner bank, which leads to the deposition of entrained material, so this part is constantly growing inward.
