At the outside of a bend
You can have a slip off slope on the inside of a meander bend or a river cliff on the outside of a meander. Or in general you can just call it the river bank
deposition occurs at the part of a river where there is no longer enough energy for the water to carry the sediments and they are deposited. Deposition is when an agent or erosion (in this case river water) loses energy and can no longer carry sediments, so it deposits them.
In a river the outside bend flows faster than the inside bend. A river carries objects (rocks, boulders, small grains of sand etc..) and the inside bend drops its load because it does not have enough energy to carry it any further. With the outside bend flowing so fast it erodes (wears away) the bank pushing it backwards creating an okbow lake. When the inside bend keeps dropping its load all of the time it looks like the whole meander has moved to the side!
because the river has a shorted way to go around the bend and the current is faster and has less far to go.
its called a meander
it is formed when there is a bend in a river and is cut off from the main channel by the force of erosion..
on 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 spacing between pools and riffles is found to be regular and usually about 5-7 times the width of the channel. •This regular spacing is said to be as a result of the secondary flow such as helicoidalflow. •The helicoidal flow moves material from the outer bend and deposits it on the inner bend of the next bend this movement increases the sinuosity of the river, producing a regular meandering channel which is about ten times the bed width.
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.
Meandering characterized a river's course when its flow begins to slow. Meanders form when slight irregularities in the flow cause the moving water to be directed towards a bank. This bank then erodes and at this point the river gets wider and the flow slows causing sediment to be deposited against the opposite bank. Eventually the process causes a large bend in the river and the river develops meanders.
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, the River Thames meanders along most of it's length.A meander is a naturally formed bend in the river.Most rivers will meander, unless man builds a defense such as a wall to stop meandering.
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.
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!! ;)
