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.
