Which mechanism inhibits alluvial terrace formation during rapid tectonic uplift?

💡 Explanation

Increased sediment deposition volume overwhelms the river's capacity for downcutting, limiting channel incision, because aggradation dominates through sediment deposition, therefore, the river builds up rather than erodes the landscape, rather than forming terraces.
