← GeographyWhich outcome increases when lateral erosion ceases during avulsion?
A)Oxbow lake sediment stabilization✓
B)Decreased alluvial fan deposition
C)Increased levee structural integrity
D)Enhanced stream thalweg meandering
💡 Explanation
Oxbow lake stabilization will form because sediment infilling accelerates once the river shifts course; channel abandonment reduces erosion rates, and sedimentation dominates rather than lateral migration.
