What can be one result of a meandering river flow?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Formation of oxbow lake

The direct answer is B: formation of an oxbow lake. A meander is a wide bend in a river. Water usually flows faster on the outer bank, causing erosion, and more slowly on the inner bank, causing deposition. Over time the bend becomes narrow at its neck. During a flood or strong flow, the river may cut through the neck and take a straighter route. The abandoned curved loop can then become an oxbow lake. Option A, desert formation, is not the characteristic result of a meander. Option B is correct because it is the classic cut-off bend feature. Option C, glacier formation, needs long-lasting ice and suitable cold conditions. Option D, volcano formation, is related to volcanic activity, not river bends. Memory cue: meander cut off = oxbow lake.
