Which consequence results when river avulsion occurs near an oxbow?

💡 Explanation

Increased floodplain sediment deposition occurs because avulsion involves channel abandonment and Sediment Deposition. Lateral migration isolates oxbow lakes; therefore this rate change happens when a new channel path forms nearby, rather than alternatives related to stream types/glacial activities.
