Meander
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
yes... it does.
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.
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.

In meanders, both lateral erosion and vertical erosion can occur. Lateral erosion is caused by the river eroding the outer bank of the meander loop, while vertical erosion is the deepening of the river channel at the inner bank of the meander due to the faster flow of water along the outside of the bend.
on the outer parts of the meander loops or bends
Erosion typically occurs on the outer bank of a meander loop due to increased flow velocity and shear stress along the bend. As the water flows along the outer bank, it exerts erosional forces, causing the bank to erode and the meander loop to migrate downstream over time.
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.
