Which hydrologic outcome is accelerated when increased glacial ablation exceeds stream incision?

💡 Explanation

Braided stream terrace formation increases due to amplified sediment transport because increased ablation deposits more sediment than stream downcutting can remove via stream incision; therefore, the stream builds terraces upwards rather than incising deeper.
