In the plain tract, deposition causes a general rise in the river course while erosion may work to cut laterally into the sediments deposited by the river. In such a case, the meandering river scours the old stream deposits and produces a well-defined belt containing remnants of old meanders The river erodes the clay covering within this belt. Breaches may also form in the natural levee as flood waters scour this swale.
