Deposition in a meander of a stream occurs most prominently on the inside bend of the meander. Here, the flow of water is slower, allowing sediment to settle and accumulate. As the water curves, the outer bank experiences erosion due to faster flowing water, while the inner bank builds up with deposited materials. This dynamic leads to the formation of point bars on the inside bends.
On the outer bank (at the tip of the meander)
All streams meander to some extent. The most likely time is when flow is consistent and gradient is uniform. See Braided Stream. When a stream has eroded the steep valleys to genteler slopes, the stream flows more slowly.Now water in the stream erodes along the sides of the stream bed rather than along the stream bottom. === ===
A stream is most likely to deposit the rock and soil it is carrying when its velocity decreases, such as in a meander or where the gradient lessens. This allows the stream to no longer have enough energy to transport the sediment, leading to deposition.
in the lower course
The river's velocity is much slower on the inside bend of a meander, so any material being transported in the river is deposited.
Erosion occurs where the stream has most energy, and deposition where it has least. This occurs as the amount of energy is not uniform across it's width.
It most commonly occurs in bodies of still water such as lake or the sea.
No: That is where deposition occurs. Erosion is where the river is flowing at its fastest, the mountain torrent stage.

A meander is a bend in the coarse of the water flow in a river. There is not a river recorded with the most meanders, although rivers with the most meanders are located in Africa.
Yes, the River Thames meanders along most of it's length.A meander is a naturally formed bend in the river.Most rivers will meander, unless man builds a defense such as a wall to stop meandering.
