← GeographyWhich outcome is directly caused by increased meander cutoff along entrenched river streams?
A)Reduced floodplain sediment deposition✓
B)Increased oxbow lake formation
C)Decreased stream gradient locally
D)Heightened aquifer recharge rates
💡 Explanation
Reduced floodplain sediment deposition occurs due to the decreased sinuosity after meander cutoffs shift, because stream energy dissipates rapidly, therefore less sediment is deposited, rather than increased sediment deposition elsewhere if energy remained steady.
