As rivers flow, tiny stones flow with it, erodingthe banks(sides) of the river.This causes river to expand in width and sometimes forms gorges.Sometimes there is excess water absorbed in the banks and the mudbecomesloose due to trees being cut down so their roots cant hold the mud together, thus causing the banks to burst.
