Which consequence results when an alluvial river's sinuosity increases significantly?

💡 Explanation

Increased sinuosity in alluvial rivers amplifies lateral erosion; this drives *avulsion*. Because the river establishes a new, shorter, steeper path; therefore avoiding increased flow resistance; rather than stabilizing or modifying delta sediment deposition which do not follow from sinuosity changes alone.
