Mexico USA 5000 General direction of river flow K 1. In what country were H and I located in 1936? Mexico G USA 77 83 BROWNSVILLE, TX MATAMOROS, MEXICO A. Study the meander cutbanks labeled A through G. The red leader from each letter points to the cutbank's location in 1936. The blue leader from each letter points to the cutbank's location in 1992. In what two general directions (relative to the meander, relative to the direction of river flow) have these cutbanks moved? B. Study locations H and I. 2. In what country were H and I located in 1992? 3. Explain a process that probably caused locations H and I to change from meanders to oxbow lakes.
