Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The formation of entrenched meanders is typically due to a meandering river carving into the land as a result of uplift or falling base level. As the river meanders back and forth, it erodes the outer banks and deposits sediment on the inner banks. Over time, this can lead to the formation of tight, looping meanders with steep banks, known as entrenched meanders. Options A and B do not explain the formation of entrenched meanders.
