Which consequence results when rapid tectonic uplift occurs?

💡 Explanation

Rapid uplift increases stream energy, causing increased erosion and channel downcutting. Incised meanders subsequently carve deeply into the landscape through vertical erosion, because downcutting is favored rather than lateral migration. Therefore, incised meanders form due to uplift, rather than other regional processes.
