Along the outside edge the faster moving water erodes the soil from that side of the stream. This produces sweepers which are trees that are falling into the stream. This happens because the soil supporting the root system is being removed causing the tree to fall over. Along the inside edge of the stream, sediments are being deposited. The result here is a point bar.
Point bars look like small sandy beaches.
These are the areas of deposition. The meandering of Sandy Stream shows all of the above-mentioned characteristics. If one were to go to Sandy Stream, she would be able to see progressively older point bar deposits, and would be able to determine the older path of the stream. The following pictures show an old section of Sandy Stream vs. a new section of Sandy Stream. Observe the effects of a meandering stream.
