A river's power to erode depends on the gradient, the volume and velocity, and the quantity of erosive burden.

A river will normally move outwards on bends, deepening the farthest channel, and thus increasing the erosion on that bank.

Turbulent river may have great power to erode?

Yes, turbulent rivers with high velocity and high load of sediments can have significant erosive power, capable of shaping landscapes by carving out valleys and canyons over time. The force of the moving water and the abrasion caused by the sediment carried by the river can wear down rocks and sedimentary deposits along its course.
