Often, particularly during periods of high rainfall and higher-than average water levels, trees and poorly placed buildings can fall into the stream due to <a href="/wiki/Mass_wasting" title="Mass wasting">mass wasting</a> events. Given enough time, the combination of erosion along cut banks and deposition along point bars can lead to the formation of an <a href="/wiki/Oxbow_lake" title="Oxbow lake">oxbow lake</a>. </p><p>Not only are cut banks steep and unstable, they are also the area of a stream where the water is flowing the fastest and often deeper. In <a href="/wiki/Geology" title="Geology">geology</a>, this is known as an area of "high-energy". </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Aerial_Shot_of_Devil%27s_Bend,_Economy_River,_Nova_Scotia.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4b/Aerial_Shot_of_Devil%27s_Bend%2C_Economy_River%2C_Nova_Scotia.jpg/220px-Aerial_Shot_of_Devil%27s_Bend%2C_Economy_River%2C_Nova_Scotia.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4b/Aerial_Shot_of_Devil%27s_Bend%2C_Economy_River%2C_Nova_Scotia.jpg/330px-Aerial_Shot_of_Devil%27s_Bend%2C_Economy_River%2C_Nova_Scotia.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4b/Aerial_Shot_of_Devil%27s_Bend%2C_Economy_River%2C_Nova_Scotia.jpg/440px-Aerial_Shot_of_Devil%27s_Bend%2C_Economy_River%2C_Nova_Scotia.jpg 2x" data-file-width="4000" data-file-height="3000" /></a><figcaption>A large meander on the Economy River.
