← GeographyWhich landform results from avulsions of meandering alluvial rivers?
A)Braided channel development✓
B)Submarine canyon excavation
C)Artesian aquifer recharge
D)Glacial moraine deposition
💡 Explanation
Braided channels form because avulsions cause rapid sediment deposition that raises the alluvial channel bed; therefore, channels split easily rather than adhering to a previous meandering path. Submarine canyons and aquifers depend on different processes.
