← GeographyWhich outcome is intensified by meanders in stream formation?
A)Increased sediment transport efficiency
B)Enhanced floodplain sedimentation process✓
C)Reduced channel flow hydraulic resistance
D)Diminished erosional bank undercutting
💡 Explanation
Enhanced floodplain sedimentation occurs because the sinuosity increase promotes slower water velocity allowing increased particle settling by Sedimentation process; therefore, intensified sediment deposition dominates rather than increased flow or reduced erosion.
