Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A, C, and D are all terms used in relation to meandering rivers. A meander scar is the result of an abandoned meander bend, a cutoff is when a meander bend is breached and creates a new channel, and an oxbow lake is a U-shaped body of water formed when a meander bend is cut off from the main channel. A distributary, on the other hand, is a branch of a river that flows away from the main channel, typically near the mouth of the river. It is not related to meandering bends.
