Which consequence results when flood magnitude overwhelms natural levees?

💡 Explanation

Oxbow lake formation accelerates because increased flooding causes greater erosion and sediment deposition, fostering **meander cutoff**. This results in faster oxbow development rather than delta, base level, or continental divide changes because levee collapse concentrates flow changes.
