Which consequence results when river sediment supply increases rapidly?

💡 Explanation

Increased sediment supply overwhelms the river's transport capacity, leading to channel braiding with decreased sinuosity because the stream abandons meandering, therefore decreasing oxbow lake formation and associated processes, rather than accelerating them.
