Which outcome commonly results when alluvial riverine plains experience incision?

💡 Explanation

Terrace formation occurs due to river incision, where the river cuts down into its former floodplain because energy increases. Therefore, distinct, elevated surfaces form on valley sides rather than increasing alluvial deposition because incision reduces overbank flow.
