Natural levees are low ridges of flood-deposited sediment that form on both sides of a stream channel and thin away from the channel. Point bars are depositional features but they form on the inside of meanders, while oxbows are formed when a meandering river cuts off a meander bend, and cut banks are the outer edges of meanders that experience erosion. Deltas are formed at the mouth of a river where it meets a body of water.
