Which outcome increases following stream capture in highland regions?

💡 Explanation

Increased erosion rate follows stream capture of highland regions via increased river flow and gradient in the captured stream; channel incision accelerates due to rejuvenation. Increased potential energy becomes kinetic energy, causing increased speed forming increased shear stress rather than salinity changes therefore.
