bender
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.
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.
on the bend
As far as I recall from my geography this is an 'Oxbow' bend, so-called because of the shape of the animals horns. Whether or not there is a term for the resulting cliff caused by the underctting action of the water I don't know.
the bend of a river I believe
on the outside of the bend
at the outside of the bend

A bend in the river could cause many main points of erosion. This erosion could be caused by water flowing over it.
The river cliff is the outside of a meander in a river. This is due to erosion from fast flowing water. Deposition occurs on the inside and the inside bend is called the SLIP-OFF SLOPE
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
A stream will be tend to be eroded most where the water current is the swiftest and the surrounding ground the softest. Materials carried by the water will also affect erosion. Such materials include ice, sand, and pebbles The current is swifter on the outside of a river bend. On the inside of a river bend the current may slow and erosion materials may be left in the river bed.
A meander is a bend in a river which will eventually erode to form an ox-bow lake which is a thing in a river! A meander is formed around a ox-bow lake. Your Welcome!! ;)
it is formed when there is a bend in a river and is cut off from the main channel by the force of erosion..
The speed of water at a river bend flows much faster and deeper on the outside of the bend. On the inside of the bend the velocity is much slower and shallower.
As the river flows around the outside of the bend, it accelerates just like when a car goes around a bend. The water, like a car, is pulled toward the outside of the bend through centripetal force (which is why road bends are often banked). The same thing happens to the water surface. It actually rises around the outside of the bend. This higher elevation of the water surface means that the water on the outside of the bend is slightly deeper than the inside. Since water always tries to seek a level surface, the water on the outside of the bend actually flows downward, along the bottom and comes back up on the inside of the bend. This secondary current pushes material from the outside of the bend back up on the inside of the bend - and that's where sand bars come from. So the combination of accelerated flow around the outside combined with the secondary current moving downward erodes the outside of the river bend.
