Q1: What kind of land do you find meanders on - steeply sloping or flat?

[Answer]

Many rivers snake across the flat land in the bottom of a valley.

Each bend of the river is called a meander.

You only find meanders on the flat strip of land called a floodplain.

Floodplains are made from mud and sand, which are soft materials and easy for a river to cut into.
