Which outcome occurs when a meandering stream encounters differential weathering?

💡 Explanation

River cliff formation concentrates flow because differential weathering erodes softer rock layers faster, leading to undercutting and steeper banks; stream flow shifts towards weaker sections, therefore river cliffs form rather than uniform erosion or deposition.

• Which consequence results when intense, prolonged wind erosion?
• Which outcome decreases island size when wave diffraction occurs?
• Which outcome occurs as geothermal vent discharge declines?
• Increased coastal erosion occurs when intensification alters gyre currents because of which mechanism?
• Which mechanism amplifies temperature gradients at mid-latitudes when polar Hadley cell boundaries shift equatorward?
• Which risk increases when excessive sedimentation loads fluvial depositional fans?
