Which feature commonly forms on the inner bend of a meander?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Point bar
The governing concept is differential river velocity within a meander. Water moves more slowly along the inner bend, so its carrying capacity falls and sand, silt, and gravel are deposited there. This depositional ridge is called a point bar. A sea stack is produced by marine erosion, a cirque by glaciers, and a yardang by wind erosion.
