← GeographyWhich outcome commonly occurs due to meander cutoff?
A)Formation of an oxbow lake✓
B)Increased stream sediment deposition
C)Accelerated floodplain soil erosion
D)Decreased river channel sinuosity
💡 Explanation
Meander cutoff results in oxbow lake creation because river flow bypasses the meander loop through channel avulsion, therefore oxbows are created, rather than the intensification of erosion or alteration to overall downstream sediment yield.
