← GeographyWhich fluvial outcome results as bend sinuosity increases?
A)Oxbow lake formation process amplifies✓
B)Overall stream flow velocity Increases
C)Base level stream migration increases
D)Drainage divide propagation exponentially decreases
💡 Explanation
Oxbow lakes form via channel avulsion; increased sinuosity leads to neck cutoff because hydraulic gradient steepens between meander bends. Therefore, the formation process amplifies, rather than reduced flow velocity, base level changes or divide propagations under those geometric conditions.
