where does erosion occur in a meander
Apr 19, 2015. A cutbank is a feature of a meandering stream. When a stream channel meanders, the stream channel becomes assymetric. The highest velocity flow within the channel is located near the outer portion of the meander loop. Thus this is where erosion occurs, This steep erosional bank is called the cut bank. Conversely, deposition occurs on the inside of the meander loop and is called a point bar.
