← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when seasonal subtropical high-pressure systems weaken?
A)Meandering river stream capture increases✓
B)Glacial isostatic rebound rates decrease
C)Sublimation on ice sheets accelerates
D)Deep ocean thermohaline circulation stalls
💡 Explanation
Increased seasonal stream capture results, driven by avulsion, because decreased pressure allows more localized intense rainfall; therefore, channels erode surrounding topography, rather than promoting sorted, graded sediment like constant pressure gradients typically would.
