Which outcome occurs when a meander stream encounters increased resistant bedrock?

💡 Explanation

Rapid stream channel incision develops, because knickpoint migration slows over resistant rock, due to reduced channel incision via abrasion; therefore downcutting persists, rather than lateral migration on the floodplain.
