Key points for this image

This is a river diagram with cross-sections.

• A winding river is drawn from above; A and B mark two cross-sections.
• At the straight section A, water moves fastest in the middle, close to the surface.
• At A, the slowest flow is along the bed and the banks.
• At bend B, the fastest flow shifts towards the deeper, steep outer bank.
• At B, the slowest flow is on the gently sloping inner side.

Conclusion idea: Overall, water speed depends on channel shape, and bends push the fastest flow outward.
