The slowest part of a meander is typically the inner curve, known as the point bar. Here, the water flows more gently due to reduced velocity as the current is directed towards the outer bank. This slower flow allows sediment to accumulate, forming a sandbar. Conversely, the outer curve experiences faster currents, leading to erosion.
