When a river erodes the outside of a curve, it forms a feature known as a cut bank, while the sediment deposited on the inside of the curve creates a point bar. This process is part of the river's meandering dynamics, where faster water flow erodes the outer bank and slower flow allows for sediment accumulation on the inner bank. Over time, this can lead to the development of distinctive river shapes and habitats.
