Which hydrologic condition creates incised meanders in alluvial valleys?

💡 Explanation

Incised meanders form because tectonic uplift or sea-level fall causes rivers to erode downwards through alluvial sediments via valley incision; therefore, valleys deepen. Other geologic changes, rather than just increased permeability, do not inherently create incised meanders.
