Erosion typically occurs on the outer bank of a meander loop due to increased flow velocity and shear stress along the bend. As the water flows along the outer bank, it exerts erosional forces, causing the bank to erode and the meander loop to migrate downstream over time.

its called a meander
The term "meander" originates from the Meander River in ancient Phrygia, now part of modern-day Turkey, known for its winding and intricate path. In geography and mathematics, a meander refers to a curve or loop that resembles this sinuous shape, characterized by its unpredictable and twisting nature. The word has since been adopted in various contexts to describe similar winding patterns, whether in rivers, roads, or other forms of movement.
Erosion occurs on the inside of a meander as the faster-flowing water erodes and undercuts the bank, resulting in the formation of a cut bank. This erosion contributes to the widening and deepening of the meander loop over time.
