As the river erodes farther into the cutbank (the outside of the bend) the bend migrates in the direction of erosion. This migration leaves behind point bar deposits on the inside of the bend, where velocities are low enough to allow deposition of point bar sediments.

How does the speed of water in a river affect its ability to cause erosion?
The faster the speed of water in a river the more erosion is causes. The slower the water the less amount of erosion it causes.
Where does erosion and deposition take place in a river bend?
It's important to note that the balance between erosion and deposition in a river bend can change over time due to factors such as changes in water flow, sediment supply, and human activities. River bends are dynamic environments, and erosion and deposition processes are ongoing, shaping the landscape and the course of the river.
What causes river erosion?
Over time the moving water carries particles of the river bed and banks away, and if there happens to be a flood that can happen much more quickly.
How does most erosion happen in dry regions?
The erosion is diffrent like wind erosion can happen in dry places
What does horizontal or lateral erosion mean?
Lateral or horizontal erosion means erosion taken place on the sides of a footpath or river bank. The opposite if lateral/horizontal erosion is vertical erosion, where erosion is taken place under the river bed or the bottom of a footpath.
Do river turn wider when it goes to the downstream?
Yes it does, one of the reasons is erosion. Hydraulic action and corrosion erode the bends of the river making the outside bend wider. :P
Are artificial levees resistant to river erosion?
yes this can happen due to runoff
What causes rivers to slowly become shaped like s?
Rivers may slowly meander along a level valley floor. Erosion may happen at certain points along the river bank, while silt and sand may be deposited at other points. This action tends to form bends in the river.
How does the speed of water in a river affect its ability to cause erosion?
The faster the speed of water in a river the more erosion is causes. The slower the water the less amount of erosion it causes.

Why does the River Thames have bends in it?
All rivers have bends in them, it is the way it cuts through the landscape.
What would happen to a boulder after many years that had fallen into a river?
The rock will be broken down to sediments by water erosion.
S bend in a river called?
Bends in a river are called meanders.
What is the bend in a river called?
Bends in a river are called meanders
How does erosion effect Mississippi River?
Erosion effects the Mississippi river by causing collapse in the banks of the river. Erosion also causes the river to change course slightly as the banks change.
Where is erosion concentrated along a meandering stream?
on the outer parts of the meander loops or bends
