Which consequence results when stream meanders erode into each other?

💡 Explanation

Meander cutoffs accelerates oxbow formation because hydraulic short-circuiting increases stream gradient causing channel abandonment; therefore, oxbow lakes form faster rather than downcutting which usually occurs slowly under stable base level conditions.
