← GeographyWhich landform results from decreased stream gradient near alluvial planes?
A)Braided stream development✓
B)Karst topography formation
C)Cirque glacial widening
D)Subduction zone generation
💡 Explanation
Braided streams form due to decreased stream power causing sediment deposition; therefore, several shallow channels branch out, rather than a single channel, because reduced slope reduces transport capacity. Alluvial planes encourage this mechanism.
