Which outcome occurs when hydraulic gradient decreases abruptly?

💡 Explanation

Decreased gradient triggers increased sediment deposition and lateral channel migration because meander cutoffs occur via the avulsion mechanism. Therefore oxbow lake formation accelerates quickly, rather than increased saltwater intrusion which reflects submarine geomorphology driven by longshore drift.
