← GeographyWhich fluvial outcome specifically depends on helical flow?
A)Oxbow lake formation✓
B)Alluvial fan sedimentation
C)Waterfall creation and erosion
D)Levee deposit accumulation
💡 Explanation
Oxbow lake formation depends on helical flow within a meandering river, also known as secondary circulation, because it causes erosion at the outer bank and deposition at the inner bank, therefore forming a cutoff; rather than mechanisms associated with fans, waterfalls, or levees.
