Which geographic event results when meanders erode adjacent to neck?

💡 Explanation

When meanders erode the neck, stream avulsion occurs because the river finds a shorter, steeper path, abandoning the loop, leading to cutoff meander. Therefore oxbow lake formation results, rather than gorge, braided stream or fan, which respectively require ongoing uplift, change in slope, or reduced water channel.
