A meandering stream lengthens its flow path,lowering the stream's gradient,and thus increasing the speed of its water flow.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Meandering streams have a lower speed of water flow as the water is forced to slow down to change direction around each bend. This creates areas of deposition and erosion, which can cause the stream to lengthen its flow path, but this actually decreases the stream's gradient and lowers its speed of water flow.
