What is the primary cause of river meandering?

AnswerClick to flip back
A
Lateral movement of the river channel
💡 Explanation:

River meandering is caused by the lateral movement of the river channel, which is driven by the force of the water flowing through the channel. As water flows around bends in the river, it erodes the outer bank and deposits sediment on the inner bank, causing the river to gradually change its course.
