Which outcome increases following stream capture in highland regions?

💡 Explanation

Increased erosion rate follows stream capture of highland regions via increased river flow and gradient in the captured stream; channel incision accelerates due to rejuvenation. Increased potential energy becomes kinetic energy, causing increased speed forming increased shear stress rather than salinity changes therefore.

• Which outcome occurs when stress exceeds static friction along an existing transform fault?
• Which mechanism reduces soil fertility when prolonged floodplain inundation occurs on alluvial plains used for agriculture?
• Which factor limits stalactite formation rate the most?
• Which outcome occurs when stress rapidly accumulates along a transform plate boundary below a large artificial reservoir?
• Which feedback occurs when vegetation disturbance increases dune mobility?
• Sediment starvation occurs when longshore current diminishes; which outcome accelerates dune erosion?
