Formation of successive bends of reverse order may lead to the formation of a complete ‘S’ curve called
- Abending
- BmeanderCorrect
- Csilting
- Dscouring
Solution
Concept
Meander
Step-by-step solution
1. Successive bends of reverse order in a river form S-shaped loops called meanders.
Explanation
Meanders are formed by erosion on the outer bank and deposition on the inner bank of a river bend.
Why the other options are wrong
Silting is deposition and scouring is erosion of the river bed.
Shortcut
S-curve = meander.
Common mistake
Choosing scouring.
Correct answer: B) meander
