← GeographyWhich fluvial consequence results when an alluvial river experiences base-level fall?
A)Increased sediment terrace formation✓
B)Extensive oxbow lake development
C)Accelerated floodplain sedimentation
D)Widespread braided river morphology
💡 Explanation
Increased sediment terrace formation occurs during base-level fall because incision dominates over deposition, leading to valley entrenchment; therefore, terraces form rather than floodplain expansion because graded equilibrium adjusts via down-cutting.
