What is the main difference between an anastomosing river and a braided river?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Anastomosing channels are separated by relatively stable, vegetated islands
Both river types divide into several channels, but their separating surfaces differ. Anastomosing channels are commonly divided by relatively stable, often vegetated islands and may migrate less frequently. Braided channels are separated mainly by unstable sediment bars that are repeatedly eroded and rebuilt. Thus option A states the key distinction; the other choices incorrectly invoke underground flow, glaciers, or waves.
