Question

These are developed by deposition on the inner bank of a stream and erosion on the outer bank. The outer bank is referred to as the ____ bank. Eroded material moves downstream and is deposited as a ______ ____ on the inside bank of a meander. As a stream ages meanders continue to cut into the outer bank. Eventually, the stream may erode through the neck of land between the channels creating an ______ lake.

Is a stream that flows in a straight channel generally younger or older than a stream that has developed meanders? (1 pt)

Is a stream that has developed oxbow lakes younger or older that one that has not? (1 pt)

Is a stream that has developed a wide flood plain younger or older than a stream with no floodplain? (1 pt)

Is a stream with waterfalls and rapids younger or older than one without? (1 pt)

Explanation / Answer

The wavy patterned feature shown in the figure is meandering river. The blanks are filled by the following terms accordingly,

Cut bank

Point bar

Oxbow lake

Fluid velocity is low at outside bank and more at inside bank.

Since flowing river with time, it leaves oxbow lakes and gets matured as straight channel, straight channel is older than a stream that has developed meanders.

Stream develops oxbow lakes with time by flowing. Thus, the stream that does not develop oxbow lakes is younger than the stream that developed oxbow lakes.
