Which hydrologic outcome is accelerated when increased glacial ablation exceeds stream incision?

💡 Explanation

Braided stream terrace formation increases due to amplified sediment transport because increased ablation deposits more sediment than stream downcutting can remove via stream incision; therefore, the stream builds terraces upwards rather than incising deeper.

• Which effect arises from the deflection of prevailing winds by the Coriolis force?
• Which mechanism causes the orographic lifting when prevailing winds encounter the Himalayas?
• Which outcome results when strong currents erode sediment supporting coastal stacks composed of limestone?
• Which landscape outcome results when permafrost prevents drainage, causing soil saturation?
