Answer:

True.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because when the water flows faster it has more power to erode the outside bank. The outside bend of the meander becomes deeper, reducing friction and allowing for even faster flow of water, which in turn means more erosion. On the inside bend of the meander the river is flowing much slower.
