Which outcome occurs when a meandering stream encounters differential weathering?

💡 Explanation

River cliff formation concentrates flow because differential weathering erodes softer rock layers faster, leading to undercutting and steeper banks; stream flow shifts towards weaker sections, therefore river cliffs form rather than uniform erosion or deposition.
