← GeographyWhich feedback results when accelerated erosion bares previously deposited alluvial valley fill?
A)Increased incision and channel entrenchment✓
B)Enhanced floodplain deposition rate
C)Widespread hillslope soil stabilization
D)Decreased sediment load downstream
💡 Explanation
Increased incision and channel entrenchment occurs because removal of the cover triggers isostatic rebound, therefore valleys incise to adjust, rather than continuing equilibrium; the mechanism is Valley Incision as the exposed base erodes.
