Which outcome results when rapid river levee aggradation slows?

💡 Explanation

Increased channel meandering initiates nearby because reduced levee creation allows Floodplain Avulsion. Stream Gradient accommodation lags rather than baseflow increasing; this is because the aggradation rate dictates stream dynamics; therefore, the avulsion initiates the meandering rather than alternatives.
