Answer:

At the bend of a stream, "erosion" occurs on the outside of a meander bend and "deposition" occurs on the inside of the meander bend.

Explanation:

  • The speed of the flowing water escalates with the increase in the distance and downward inclination.
  • On the outer side of the meander, the water hits the bend with greater speed owing to the distance available for its maneuver.
  • While on the inner side of the meander, the speed of the flowing water is comparatively low owing to the stumbling block offered by the bend.
  • Through gradual erosion and deposition, the meander intensifies and gets cut out from the stream to form a separate water body known as 'Oxbow' lake.
