← GeographyWhich landscape change is driven when sediment deposition obstructs a meander neck?
A)Oxbow lake formation initiation✓
B)Deltaic lobe switching acceleration
C)Levee breach and crevassing increases
D)Arroyo channel incision and downcutting
💡 Explanation
Oxbow lake formation is driven by neck cutoff because the sediment deposition blocks the meander neck, initiating a new, straighter channel via avulsion rather than delta lobe switching, which relates to delta progradation.
