Which process impacts floodplain island formation downstream when increased river meandering occurs?

A)Progressive sediment deposition downstream
B)Accelerated hydraulic sorting upstream
C)Increased bank erosion equally
D)Oxbow lake formation upstream

💡 Explanation

Progressive sediment deposition occurs due to downstream sediment transport via channel migration; this reflects longshore drift mechanism. Continuous deposition allows island building; therefore, deltas form due to sediment accumulation, rather than other processes occurring directly upstream first.
