Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
ANSWER: (B)
Meandering is only a type of channel pattern not a landform. Meander is one of a series of regular sinuous curves, bends, loops, turns, or windings in the channel of a river, stream, or other watercourse. A meander is produced by a stream or river as it erodes the sediments comprising an outer, concave bank (cut bank) and deposits this and other sediment downstream on an inner, convex bank which is typically a point bar. Meandering is usually seen during middle course of the river.
