Point Bars

Point Bar is a fluvial depositional landform that constitutes a curved, typically crescent-shaped accumulation of sediment on the inner bank of a river meander, distinguished from other channel sediments by its formation through the deceleration of flow and consequent deposition of suspended and bedload material in zones of reduced shear stress.
