1. Meander
The fluvial feature shown in the diagram is a meander.

1A. Middle course
The river is in the middle course and the label mentioned in Q1 is the meander.

1B.
A: Point bar (deposition)
B: River cliff (erosion)
Label A as point bar and B as river cliff.

1C.
A: Deposition
B: Erosion

1D. Impacts on agriculture (2 examples):

  • Fertile alluvial soils deposited at point bar A provide nutrient-rich land for crop growth.
  • Risk of flooding from meander overflow damages crops and farmland.

1E. Prediction over next 50 years:
Continued erosion at B (river cliff) and deposition at A (point bar) will cause the meander to migrate downstream. The narrow neck between the meander loops will erode through, cutting off the meander to form an oxbow lake. The main channel will straighten slightly.
