Which outcome is directly caused by increased meander cutoff along entrenched river streams?

💡 Explanation

Reduced floodplain sediment deposition occurs due to the decreased sinuosity after meander cutoffs shift, because stream energy dissipates rapidly, therefore less sediment is deposited, rather than increased sediment deposition elsewhere if energy remained steady.
