Which downstream morphological change occurs because of high rates of solifluction impacting Arctic river valleys?

💡 Explanation

Braided river patterns form because solifluction delivers substantial unsorted sediment to river channels, increasing the sediment load. Aggradation causes multiple shallow channels to develop; therefore, a braided pattern forms, rather than a single-thread channel.
