Which erosional outcome occurs when a dam interrupts alluvial sediment deposition downstream?

💡 Explanation

Increased bank erosion increases because sediment starvation intensifies hydraulic action; lacking sediment, the river's erosive power concentrates on the banks causing greater instability, therefore bank erosion is directly caused, rather than braiding of streams or stabilization.
