Which outcome results from floodplain silt deposition inhibiting drainage?

💡 Explanation

Swamps result because *aggradation* from vertically accumulated deposits impede regional watershed drainage pathways. Therefore, areas become waterlogged and marsh or swamps form, rather than leading to significant channel adjustments.

• Which outcome is caused when intense winds erode fine sediment?
• Which outcome occurs when sediment-laden flows decelerate at a break in slope?
• Which feedback arises when increased rainfall rapidly saturates soluble bedrock, forming new sinkholes?
