Both processes are needed to create a meander, they work together.
Erosion primarily occurs on the outside curve (cutbank) of a meander, where the water flow is faster and more forceful. Deposition occurs on the inside curve (point bar) of the meander, where the water flow is slower, allowing sediment to be deposited.
A meander is primarily a form of erosion. As a river flows, it can erode the outer bank of a bend (cut bank) through hydraulic action and abrasion. Deposition occurs on the inside of the bend (point bar) where the velocity of the water decreases, causing sediment to be deposited.
In a meander, erosion occurs on the outer bank of the curve due to higher velocity of water, which undercuts the bank. Deposition happens on the inner bank where the lower velocity of water leads to sediment accumulation. Over time, these processes cause the meander to elongate and create a more pronounced loop in the river.
When deposition stops or erosion occurs, landforms such as canyons, cliffs, valleys, or deltas can be created. Erosion removes the weathered material, while deposition adds it to a new location, shaping the landscape in various ways.
Yes, a drumlin is created by a combination of erosion and deposition processes. It forms when glaciers deposit sediments in an elongated mound shape due to the movement of the ice. Erosion from the glacier's movement and deposition of materials help shape drumlins into their characteristic streamlined form.
yes... it does.

Erosion occurs in meanders and fast flowing parts of the river. Deposition occurs when the flow is too slow to carry the particles so drops the dirt and soil it is carrying. Deposition also occurs on the inside of a meander, which is why the meander stays the same width, but moves about.
when a part of a river has been through erosion and in some cases a meander has formed
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.

The inside bend of a river is called a "meander." Meanders occur as a result of erosion and sediment deposition along the riverbank, creating a curving or winding pattern in the waterway.
deposition
An Oxbow lake. It is where a Meander is cut by erosion & the consequent deposition alters the course of the river. The cut off meander forms an Oxbow.

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
