Which condition best favours the formation of a point bar on the inner bank of a meander?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Deposition of sand and silt due to lower velocity
A point bar forms on the inside of a meander where the channel is relatively shallow and water velocity falls. Reduced competence makes the river deposit sand, gravel, and silt along the gently sloping inner bank. Thus option C is correct. Wave erosion, glacial abrasion, and solutional cave formation are processes associated with different agents and do not create an inner-bank point bar.
