← GeographyWhich mechanism forms elevated cave entrances over time?
A)Differential fluvial downcutting✓
B)Tectonic plate collision uplift
C)Hydrothermal vent deposition
D)Isostatic glacial rebound compression
💡 Explanation
Entrances elevate via differential fluvial downcutting because surface streams erode valley floors faster than cave levels; therefore, entrances appear higher relative to current ground level rather than by tectonic uplift or other processes.
