An incised meander carved downward into the surface of the valley in which the meander originally formed; it exhibits a symmetric cross profile. Such a deepened meander, which preserves its original pattern with little modification, suggests rejuvenation of a meandering stream, as when there has been a rapid vertical uplift or a lowering of base level.  1, record 2, English, - entrenched%20meander

... a continually growing or expanding incised meander formed during a single cycle of erosion by the enlargement or accentuation of an initial minor sinuosity while the stream was actively downcutting; a meander that "grows in place". It exhibits a pronounced asymmetric cross profile (a well-developed, steep undercut slope on the outside of the meander, a gentle slip-off slope on the inside) and is produced when the rate of downcutting is slow enough to afford time for lateral erosion.  1, record 3, English, - ingrown%20meander
