← GeographyWhich topographical change arises when stream captures create endorheic lakes?
A)Development of alluvial erosional terraces
B)Increased regional evapotranspiration rates
C)Formation of wind gap through drainage✓
D)Downcutting becomes the dominant pattern
💡 Explanation
A wind gap results from stream capture because the abandoning stream leaves a notch; therefore, it allows wind to erode rather than water, shaping the local topography; other options require different mechanisms.
