Which process combination explains meander formation in the Ganga plain?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Gentle gradient, slower flow, lateral erosion and deposition

In the Ganga plain, the gentle gradient makes the river flow relatively slowly. It erodes laterally along the outer bank of a bend and deposits sediment along the inner bank. Together, these processes produce meanders. Steep gradients and vertical erosion are more typical of a river’s upper, mountainous course. Exam tip: associate meanders in plains with lateral erosion and deposition.
