The concave bank of a winding stream that is maintained as a steep or even overhanging cliff by the action of water at its base.

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.
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.
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.
CutBank was created in 1973.

Erosion can be higher at a cutbankbecause of an often increased volume of water and higher speed at a cutbank, especially if the curve is at a narrower point in the river. This produces greater friction right at that point, and can result in a higher level of sediment being carried away by the force of the moving water.

A meandering river loop will continue to widen and migrate laterally over time without a cutoff. Erosion will occur on the outer bank, causing the loop to grow larger, while deposition will occur on the inner bank, creating point bars. This will result in a gradual shift of the river's path within the loop.
