← HistoryWhich erosion pattern increases where terrace walls degrade?
A)Increased downslope sediment deposition
B)Decreased channel incision upstream
C)Enhanced sheet erosion velocity✓
D)Reduced colluvial soil accumulation
💡 Explanation
Enhanced sheet erosion occurs because degraded terrace walls reduce slope stabilization, leading to increased water flow velocity concentrating sediment removal; therefore sheet erosion dominates, rather than localized deposition or channel incision due to widespread overland flow.
