When rivers keep meandering long enough, their channel belts widen to a certain width due to lateral channel migration processes. A meandering river tends to shift and sharpen its bends as the outcome of channel migration, and at some point cut them off. This leaves a cutoff meander element (usually a point bar complex with an oxbow lake) with a ce...

... this study has shown how the Sadler effect is predominantly responsible for meander-belt scale preservation ( §6.2.1; Fig. 6.5; Fig. 6.6; Fig. 6.11). As a result, more young deposits and fewer old deposits will be visible at the end of meander simulations (and in geological-geomorphological maps of a meandering system in autogenic equilibrium). This is true both in the vertical sense and in its horizontal, planform expression. This study further implies that stratigraphic hiatuses ...
