The inside edge of a meander is called the "point bar." This area is where sediment accumulates due to the slower water flow on the inside of the curve, leading to the formation of a sandy or gravelly bank. Over time, point bars can grow larger as more sediment is deposited, altering the shape of the river over time.
As a river deposits sediment on the inside of a meander and erodes the outside of the meander, the meander migrates toward the outside edge
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.
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
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.
Point Bar
on the inside of the bend
On the outer bank (at the tip of the meander)
its called a meander
River bends are called 'esses' or 'meanders'
deposition
its called a meander
A mender would form by the push of the water hitting the edge of the river.
