Which outcome is caused by blocked stream meander necks?

💡 Explanation

The abandonment of stream meanders via neck blockage causes oxbow lakes because the thalweg then bypasses the meander loop via channel avulsion; therefore an oxbow lake forms rather than wider channels because deposition exceeds erosion.
